Yesterday I noticed that Pepi's eye was irritated...I thought he may have got something in it and was hopeful it would get better...it didn't. This morning he couldn't open it and it was gunky...when he wouldn't eat or drink I knew things were bad. I took him to the vet and found out he had lacerated his eyeball, it was almost punctured. If I didn't get him to the vet when I did he would have lost the eye..hopefully we got it in time.
Mike had to call in reinforcements...we could have got done ourselves if we would have had a couple of more days...but the pour was the next day. The guy he hired really knows what he is doing...unlike me. Things went very smoothly.
Now everything is built, braced and ready to go!
Nice straight walls...
Here they go...Mike, Jessie and Jimmy...
Nothing ever seems to go as planned ... the cement started setting up before they were ready for it to...
But by the end of the pour...things were looking up, and everything turned out fine.
Amid the chaos of the pour this little fellow ran right by them...nobody saw him except Emma and me. We were hanging out in our make shift playroom in the back of Mikes new cargo trailer.
Nice little set up.
While her Daddy, Grampa and Uncle Jimmy were all working their ***!!**'s off, I had an enjoyable day with this little sweetie!
Grandkids !!! 
We have power!!
The first scoop of dirt...Yay
First we had an excavator level the building spot out for us.
We laid out the house and after much squaring up and measuring..we got the forms for the footings in....
Put in the rebar...
then we started getting the forms for the foundation walls up.
Most of the forms are up... just the garage is left to do and we will get it done tomorrow since we ran out of forms today. Then Mike says the walls need to be squared and braced. The cement is coming on Friday so we have to be done.
So far the weather has gone from nice ... to cold and wet ..... then to hot!
