A-4 … A “slab-eration”! Cool. Nine days until our design appointment than shortly thereafter we too will have something to celebrate. Until then we will satisfy our frustration watching your home become a reality. O, by the way, thanks for allowing me to finger-paint a portrait of our puppy in the wet cement of your new foundation. It isn’t as good as the work I did in the Sistine Chapel, but that would be expected, it wasn’t a celling. It was a floor.

Ditto, ditto, and more ditto!

BEAUTIFUL work Ben . . . . writing your name in my slab. I've never seen anything quite like it. Since when have you been going by the name "Bubba" ?

When I went to look and admire it, it had been scrubbed out!

But don't worry, I got a nail and put it back in, although I confess to being no artist.

Andy and I studied you plans and see they made some of the stretches larger than they were supposed to be so Rusty reported it to the builder to make two walls smaller, it will be ok by the time U get here.

Oh were those your pet pythons in the pool?
LOL! if you sell the bose I dunno if I can love you. omg can't wait to hear that from the hot tub. hope I get good neighbors. glad you all went by to fix all those problems! are you selling the pythons too? I hope so!

Hope you guys all had a wonderful time this evening. It is still very cold up here, but not much shoveling to do. The major snows just keep missing us! For that we are thankful. I caught the crummy flu going around and Rich has been working way too much. With this cold snap, he has been very busy. Wish we were there too. Enjoy all the pictures. You guys are all too much fun! Take care. Will be in touch soon.

OK, I guess I got ahead of myself. Have fun at the Slaberation tomorrow night!

Kitty and Chief, you are so lucky to have all those inspectors! It won't be long now!
Twinspin, I can identify with Jim.
A4, now you will see changes everyday, congratulations on your slab.
Jimbo, how are the floors coming?
Rusty and Junction, you guys are the best at keeping everything moving and organized, even in the wee hous of the morning.
Hope everyone gets home safely from EP tomorrow night.

Missing you all!

There R some things I refuse to do, I'm not digging the holes for the plants when I landscape, I don't do concrete, I'm hiring a backhoe to dig the hole for the pool........

The 5.1 sound and home theater system is really an ez project.

The solar systems (2) R much more complex, but the newest toy I'm working on is eliminating all chemicals in both the pool & spa.

It's called a "Natural fresh water pool", it should be a lot fun.

oh fun to play with these projects now that I'm semi retired
