Preparation for the Pour

The preparation for the slab started last week.  They compacted the soil and framed in the foundation. 

When we came by this weekend, more work was completed in anticipation of "The Pour" on Thursday (10-3-2013).  For the first time the house looks big enough, because without walls, it has looked like a puny postage stamp in the middle of a field.
Our builder and associate were here to measure, locate floor plugs, and check plumbing locations.

With lots of help from his associates, Ryan declared the measurements were correct and we would have a solid base from which to build our home.

After completing the measurements, Peg and I as well as Ryan and his group headed in different directions to watch Arkansas play...guess who?  You guessed correctly, Texas A & M.  The Aggies won, so a productive day on all counts.

Also we have had some rain which fills up the tank and cools things off.

 

 

Hot or cold, the hounds enjoy the water.  

This picture of the caracara is not real great, but this guy seems to be enjoying the weather and the distance between the two of us.
