Going Vertical ...

 

We had so much rain at the end of the year that it took almost three months to get the land cleared, the building pad in place, and the foundation poured. Needless to say, we were ecstatic when we finally got to the point where we started putting something vertical on the site...specifically, the mason walls.

   

Git a'movin'...the water's rising fast... you're on gator watch.

The carport slab went in after the mason block was done.

Something doesn't look right here...

This is closer than the port-a-potty...heh...heh...

You're right, Frank...something doesn't look right here...

Like two lizards on a rock...looking for a place in the sun...

Yeah Elliot...I know we could have done it the other way...

One VERY handy tractor...
