Frost walls are up!

Jean finished the ground work the other day and the frost walls went up.  The rest of the week the guys back filled and flattened out the area the floor will be going. Travis took a day off and he and his dad spent most of Friday moving rocks and raking out the fill that was dumped in the back yard.  They should be starting the framing this week some time. Dad came down last weekend to drill the hole in the concrete for the wire to run from the house breaker box out to the breaker box that will be put in the garage.  It is all coming along nicely.

 The forms the day before the concrete came.

 Walls are up and Jean brought his wife along to help him back fill all day. They worked like dogs and it was a hot day.

Most of the back filling done

 parts of the yard are still a mess and will need some work. This area near the well had a vernal pool so we dug the area up and are going to put a drain pipe in to keep that area dry and even so we can grass it in and create more yard.

 The guys showed up early today to work on flatening out the area the floor will be poured soon.

 All flattened out

 We are going to have a larger area of lawn in the backyard now too with all the fill they put in the woods over there :)

 can't wait till this is all grass and we can put things back to normal.

Just a picture of Bonnie for good measure. and of the flowers i planted in the basket Travis's mom got me for my birthday.
