Week 8, Day 52 - Basement Floor

We have a basement floor! They pulled the cement truck right up to the house (it really sunk into the mud!), cut a hole in the wall, and poured the cement right down the stairwell. Here's a whole pile of pics showing the process...



















Because the framers framed up the floors so precisely, the concrete workers were able to just use a 2X4 cut to the proper length to set the "height" of the floor. If the board cuts a trough, the floor needs to be smoothed down. if it doesn't make a mark at all, the floor needs to be built up. Pretty cool!

Our "Scrapbook"

I've never been proficient at scrapbooking, but I wanted a way of capturing the building of our new home. A blog is the perfect way for two "techies" to accomplish the artistry of capturing memories.

We moved from the Midwest to the East Coast in October 2008. We found our building site in November 2008, and broke ground in October 2009.

Henceforth, The Building of Blackthorn Ridge.
