5/6 The Pour. Concrete was scheduled for 10:00 am, but we still were not done setting the forms to grade. We contacted the ready mix plant in time to delay 2 hr.s. The pump truck was already heading up from Gunnison so he hung out and lent a hand here and there. Once the concrete arrived things went fairly smooth as Dusty handled the pump line, and Annie & Sean screed. Annie learned to giggle fast and move slow. Then the wet mud broke some of the strapping the 2x12's pushed out making some pregnant spots. Sean & Annie contained most of the blow-outs. We finished up and then covered up the forms with blankets.

5/4-5 We hurriedly worked on the footers. Dusty finishing the forms, while Annie cut and bent re bar. Then we called Sean Kelly to come help place bar in the forms. YIPPEE we passed our first inspection!!

5/3 We picked up our forms in C.Springs. Thanks to friends who lent us an extra truck and trailer to haul the pallets. What would seem to be a simple load-up and drive home turned into the longest 10 hours drive from C. Springs to CB.

5/1 AAAUGH! 5"

4/30 CUTTING WOOD!! Dusty started forming the footers, and was very excited to work a couple days without paying someone

4/29YEAH!! Digging is done for now. Many truck loads of dirt have been hauled away, and several loads of road base & gravel brought in to make our foot print stable and level
