Cementing the Deal

When it rains, it pours.  Hot on the heels of the photos our contractor, Brian Shelton, provided us, last night we got some from our good friends and closest mountain neighbors.  Harry had followed the cement truck up the driveway and stuck around for some of the excitement of seeing the footers of the cabin poured.  We'll always be able to say to him "you were there at the beginning".  Here's a shot of the early pour -- Builder Brian is smoothing the concrete in the forms.

Here's a shot of the completed footer pour.

Harry spotting this group of elk a couple of miles from the cabin.  No doubt they'd heard about our place and were headed over to check it out!

More pictures soon of the stem wall and then of the foundation poured in Greenblock forms (Brian has a degree in environmental science, so we'll go as green as we can).  It's going to be snug.  I'm off to start packing my cabin treasures -- it's just plain hard to believe this is happening!

Tune in again soon.
