Last week, my house went from being a cement floor and techo roof to having four brick walls with spaces for the windows and doors. I’m so excited I can’t wait to move in. This coming week I’m hoping we can put the doors and windows in so it’s ready to for when I buy my bed, refrigerator, and electric oven. We couldn’t have asked for more perfect weather all week. On Monday it rained and cooled everything off. I was playing 500 with the kids in the rain when the truck with all the bricks pulled up. I hoped on the back and road down to the building site and help unload over 1000 red bricks. Tuesday morning, I was there before the brick layer. We removed the former frame and put supporting planks to hold the roof. No zoning laws make things go so much faster. While the bricklayer built the walls, I pulled nails, mixed cement, carried hundreds of bricks, and filled buckets of concrete. My contact and his son were helping too. When I wasn’t needed I helped with lunch.
The pictures document the days of progress. Whoever happened to be there at the conclusion of each day I asked them to pose with their fingers indicating the day.
I’ll post another picture once it’s fully furnished, but that’s the latest here in my town.
