The finished cement basement floor. It shines! The white looking cement is the porch for the basement. We had to do part cement and part wood for a deck off of the basement because of the slope of the land. The wood part will come later.

They are leveling the cement with the machine before it dries. This is the basement of the house.

This is a picture of the side of the garage where they will but a pipe for drainage. Look at the middle of the picture, which is the bottom of the wall and see the hole for the pipe.
This picture I couldn't get turned, sorry. This is the back deck supports. It has to hold up 2 decks. The basement and the upper main deck.One side is cement and the other will be wood because of the slant of the land.

This a picture of the side of the garage where they have a drainage pipe that will go down there. Then they will cover this area up with rocks and cement.
This is our trash bin. They but odds and ends in here instead of burying it and having a sink hole years latter. Check our the name of the trash!!!

They filled the basement, to be, full of rocks called gravel.
That is the plumer. He is putting in the pipes that need to go under the cement in the basement. Even the water from the floor up above has to flow through these pipes. You can see a door way in the cement box to the right, that is our door way to where we will keep some of our food storage. It has cement on 4 sides.
Grandma is having fun seeing the progress on her house. I am standing in the bunk bed room. We want to have several bunk beds in a room for the grand kids when they sleep over. We will need to sleep in between boat rides and running through the forest.

I went to change my decoration on the door and as I was pulling it down I saw bird poop on the door????????? what is going on????? I quickly put the wreath of flower back up as my hand had touched the edge of a nest. Can you see it? It does blend in
Do you see the nest? Look at the tiny egg on the side. It is going to be hard to open the front door, as the birds easily fly away when we open the door. I don't want them to fly into the house. The Baby birds when the hatch will get very anxious. It will be fun to watch them grow, it might be noisy too.

Look what I found when we looked inside-2 birds and they weren't there yesterday. Are they the mom and dad? Check out the bird poop on the door!!!!
See the birds. They are nestled down in the nest very tightly
Look at the tiny egg on the left hand side. It was on the edge of the nest and fell down even more. The birds can't put it back into the nest. This egg won't grow to be a bird. If I touch it they will leave the nest completely.

They took the metal forms off of the dried cement, now we have a wall. It has rained a lot here lately and it is really muddy.
This is the side of the basement wall. It looks like stairs going down because the slope of the land goes down.
This is the garage. in the back you can see a spot with no cement wall and that will be a door. It is cool to see how they build things. They have to do every step correctly or the house won't hold up.
