Fw:wednesday! Already!


Came in to send my weekly, Tuesday, email and found Samuel's email and then knew that I had missed Tuesday and today was Wednesday. Where do the days go?

So that week we were able to get the conduit into the shed floor on Thursday and then we found a new Cement guy to poor the floor on Friday. It started out cloudy even though it was supposed to be sunny but the pour was good. It did take 'til dark to get the back set up so they could finish it off. It looks great. We do have cement blankets on it so it won't get too cold before it cures. So we had a couple of sunny days--Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Tuesday was supposed to be cloudy but we had sun most of the day. Dad and I were able to set up four high of ice blocks in the cellar. Then we started putting up the braces. At dark we covered the top of the blocks so hopefully no moisture would get inside. Today, we bent rebar braces for the brick ledge. We hoped tomorrow would be sunny so Dad took me out to lunch for our anniversary and bought me a pair of insulated coveralls. It was sunny then but by the time we got home, the clouds had rolled in and now snow is pr!
edicted this evening--"the coldest front of this season" accordingto the weather man--one to three inches of snow predicted for the valley. So do we get to pour cement into the ice blocks on Monday? We'll have to see. So I hope all of you are keeping warm and dry and I hope we can continue building our house dispite the wet and cold weather. Love, MOM
