I think they put them on standing off a ladder.....

Me no, I'll pass, a regular ladder works just fine for me

Default HotRod's Build

Okay, here's the latest update for hotrod's house. Looks like all of the interior walls are up...next comes insulation! Coming along nicely I think!!! The first is the front (duh!), then the garage from the front, the kitchen from the lanai, the pool and the MBR.

Default Calcs Build

Hi Lisa! Looks like they're making progress. They were even working today (Saturday) doing something! So, patience wins the day. Once the concrete is in then you'll be surprised at the progress that will be made!

Default Progress

CalcT!!! Progress, finally! Soon they will be caught up and you will be just behind time wise from mine! Aren't you SO excited? I am for you!!! It's all coming together. The homes, the neighborhood, and most important, the neighbors!
Thank you Rusty for taking the time to do this for all of us. I hope someday to repay you for your kindness with something worth more than beer! Truly, you and Janice are very special people and I appreciate your time and effort on my behalf!

Randy, (aka Rusty) what did they do on Lisa's foundation add blocks on part of it to bring it level, bit hard to tell in the pic's.

I think Randy's name is Rusty, unless you know somebody else that none of the rest of us have met. Then again, maybe he's in the WV witness protection program and he changes his name every week.

Oh thanks, A-4. Now my cover's blown, I'll have to sell this house, move to another location and learn a whole new persona...geez.

But back to Calc's foundation, I have no idea what they did or why. I do know that footers were poured, 2-3 courses of block laid and then the foundation space was backfilled once the underground plumbing was in. In one of the pics you can see where block was cut in half lengthwise. It looks like this was done to give the foundation something to cling to but I really don't know. All I do know is that she's making progress and I'm happy for that!

Thought we had a buyer but he had a contingency and we won't tie the house up. We've been on the market 7 weeks and showed it 9 times. Feedback is great, but nobody is buying right now and very few people are looking. We priced it 40K below market value and still nothing. I know I need to be patient, but damn . . . . I want to be down there. It'll happen.

A-4, let us not forget we are equally in your debt for keeping "The List". After all, as we age, we can only fit so many new things in our brains, and I have to admit I was lost after the first 5 of us!! So that spreadsheet is going to save me somewhere down the line!

Hurrying as fast as I can, Rusty! Closing on the 5th and settling in!

I feel like mine is being brought to you by the Little Builder That Could! I got a plastic sheet! Yaa-hoo! And Rusty: I gotta tell you -- when I was in high school, I used to sit by the phone waiting for a special boy to call. Now, I feel like I'm sitting by the PC waiting for a special Corona-loving boy to post pictures of my house! Hahahaha! Can't thank you enough! I really thought the sky view of one of the pictures was quite beautiful! My parents are back in town...so I might relieve you of your picture-taking responsibilities! HotRod: your house looks great! So exciting!!
