The blockwork is now complete. The exterior of the walls have been parged and sealed.




The sonotubes are in to support the wrap-arround deck.




This is a shot of the garage. It still needs to be filled with stone and a pad poured.




We now have a subfloor!



Another shot of the garage. Our TV room will be in the gargage. Catherine kicked me out of the house.

The house continues

Though my time has been busy elsewhere, the house continues. Frank and his crew are doing a great job. Here are some pictures Ralph sent me.

Tamping the stone, getting ready for cement.

Update

I would first like to thank everyone for their thoughts a prayers. Everyone's support has been overwhelming. Catherine cannot believe how generous and helpfull people can be, even from people she barely knows. I have told her that she is a beautiful person and has definitely touch many people in a positive way and she deserves all the attention and support she is getting. It has truely helped , and I thank you all. Catherine is home now and very happy to be here. A week in the hospital is a week too long. She believes hospitals are for sick people. She is getting ready to start radiation treatment for the cancer in her brain. They have told her that her hair will probably fall out, but she is OK with that as she is not very fond of her current hair style. She also has cancer in her left lung and hip. They have yet to tell us the treatment plan for that. Catherine feels well and is very positive she will get through this. She still plans to live to be 100, and to live in a log house, so I had better get my butt in gear and finish the house.

Take care,
Ken
