Sorry for the absence yesterday. Janice and I were up and out early to do some much needed errands. After we got home, more stuff to do and then off to help with Janice's uncle in the evening.

What a day this has been already! Concrete poured at the site behind and to the east of us and watching that was interesting. I have some really great news for a neighbor but it'll have to wait until this evening when I can get pics after the workers leave. Hope the suspense doesn't get too bad!

Default CalcTeacher Wins Again!!!

Hi Calc and CoopersDad!!! You guys must be having a run of luck and I'd recommend that you buy lots of lottery tickets. Once again, you are the daily winners of the "most obvious progress" construction contest!!!! Prizes will be awarded at a future time to be determined solely by the judge (me).

You guys have had a busy day. You have walls!!!!! The final portions of block went up late yesterday and the workers just quit filling the holes in the top of the block at this very moment (7:30pm). I don't know if the pool has been poured, sorry.

I hope you enjoy the pics!!!

Default Andy & Wendy's Progress

Hi Guys & Gals!! I've been keeping a dutiful eye on your lot and the progress of your build. You've got rough-in plumbing and work is progressing. You're also formed up for the pour of the concrete slab.

I'll keep you updated as things get more interesting!!!

Enjoy the pics!!!

Default HotRod Gets Warm

Hi Hotrod!!! Not to worry m'dear...you are progressing nicely! Still working on the interior and the insulation is going up in the ceiling. There is also a nice pile of sheetrock in the garage waiting to be installed. It may be a tight race in the "Most Obvious Build" contest tomorrow. Should be interesting!

Enjoy the pics!

Wow! Oh Wow! Told you that you'd soon catch up to me! Lots of progress coming your way. Love the big window in the front too. Don't remember that from the Ivy model. Did you enlarge? Looking good!!!

Thanks again, Rusty for all your work on our behalf! We live vicariously in TV through you and appreciate your efforts. Only 7 weeks now til I can come down and harass you myself! Guess I'd better think about packing up some stuff come January or so I think we're going to have one heck of a party!!!

I thought that you might be pleased...lol. I can tell you that Janice and I will absolutely be here during the time that you will be here. We both can't wait to meet you and your hubby.

Hope you all have a great night!

Based on your progress I would say that you are soon going to be in the thick of things. It's going to become increasingly difficult to make a good decision regarding the winner but I due trust the judges discretion...

Let's see: Happy Hour traditionally starts at 5. Construction crews sometimes finish 6/7/7:30 (as was the case last night--you said so yourself, Rusty). What if the judge partakes of Happy Hour before judging can commence? I guess we could tell if the pictures came out blurry! But my prediction is Junction29 will be the winner by Monday at the latest!
