FINALLY...we begin...

After what can only be described as one "what the hell" moment after another, we have finally broke ground on the house. Of course, they started while we were in Colorado, so we missed the actual ground breaking but that's okay - just so long as SOMETHING is finally happening. They have framed up the slab, bagged it and put base in. The rebar (sp?) has been delivered and they are tying that in tomorrow. The slab is slated to be poured at 6am Tuesday morning. Exciting, exciting!!!

On the flip side of all the excitement, it has become apparent that our little worker bees are trash producers. And beings that I don't speak Mexi-dumbass, I can't communicate that the trash should be put in the TRASH CAN PROVIDED ON THE SITE. Even going around picking it up and pointing to it and then pointing to the trash can and dropping it in has really not seemed to sink in. It's only been four days so maybe they're "slow learners"...bad combo with me being "quick tempered"...we'll see how it goes. I really shouldn't complain...they work rain or shine and this week has mostly been rain, so, yeah, I'm gonna shut up for now on the trash...just keep working...just keep working...just keep working...lol

More to come later...pix too...

The land is looking better & better with rock that are being used for a good cause. All the rocks I have seen there was just holding the land together.lol Don't forget to make my bedroom beautiful since I have started spending 3 weeks at a time away from home. That could make "Big Lar" have to double his beer allowance.ROFL
