Hello everyone! You may want to scroll down the page to see our home building update in order ( starting with cement) or you can look at it backwards...Hope you have a great day!

ps Celiese doesn't have a matching shirt yet so that's why she's not in this picture.

The Floor Trusses and Floor System...I don't know why, but I didn't take pictures of all the floor trusses...they looked pretty cool too. After the trusses, they put on a floor and that is what you see here. Also, a picture looking down into the basement. Last Wednesday we poured the footers which support the house. On this coming Tuesday we will pour most of the foundation...Yippee!

The Basement Walls... Eterna Building Systems or Rastra is what we used for our basement walls. It is made out of stirofoam and cement and are bigger than block. It is more expensive but only took Jorden and JT Lines a couple of days to put up all the walls! The ceiling in the basement is 8ft 9in or 7 rastra courses high. Maren, our math genius, helped measure the corners and I got to put this cool expanding foam in the spaces between the rastra, it's bright orange. Just a side note...I really don't need to help work on the house...I just do it cause it's fun and then I feel like I'm helping. :)

Pouring of the Cement....

It was fun to watch the cement be poured for our home. Maren helped "smooth" it out and had a blast playing in it! Celiese was our supervisor above the pour, watching contently on the edge.
