Restoration Ranch

It's Saturday, and many of you are expecting to hear that we poured the roof of the first floor. Right? That's because that's what I kept telling you! As often happens here, the plans changed slightly. After consulting with the master builder, Alberto, it was decided that Monday was a better day to pour.

After that is done, the construction crew will work for a bit on the septic tank while the cement on the roof dries. They will be putting the plaster over the block that was used to build the tank. They will then do the same for the water holding tank up on the hill.

Once that is finished, they will return to working on the children's house. There are a couple of non-load-bearing interior walls that have to be added. Then the actual wiring and plumbing. Then the plaster all the walls and paint. PAINT? OH my! I'd better do some thinking about colors! Before long we are going to be ready to put toilets, sinks, appliances, etc. I realize that everything takes more time than I think it does, but doesn't it feel like it's just about to break forth and bloom?
