28 Years Ago Today. . .

Footings

It finally dried out enough from the rain to

pour the footings for the house.

We had 4 trucks come out and luckily only one of them got

stuck in the mud. It was the last truck and he had already

dumped his load and was leaving when he got stuck.

They were able to get it out with the backhoe.

Here comes the first truck.
Starting the pour.

Tim--hard at work.

Pulling the cement down the forms.

The finished footings.

We had to go to town so I only got pictures

of the beginning and the finished footings.

A New House ! ! !

After many years of waiting...
We have started to build a house.

This is the computer model of the house.

This is the lot before:

Bob came and stayed with us for

a week and he fired up the

"Kitty Cat" and pushed out the

trees and cleared the land.

After he pushed out the trees:
