Well, our house on Frost Hill is officially underway... finally! We'll be able to get the foundation poured and capped this year, which is pretty good considering how the weather has been. The walls are actually poured and we're (meaning Charles) getting all the supplies together for the floor. It's going to be a floor with the potential for radient heat, so there insulation, tubing etc. to be procured.
Todays big undertaking was hauling all the insulation back from the concrete supply place in Auburn with a mini van, a pickup, one little brother, and a boat trailer with a deck on it. The pallet of insulation was about 8 feet high... we were looking at the trailer and the pallet and wondering how on earth we were going to pull this off. Well, after some creative stacking, we got half of the pallet on the trailer, and split the other half between the van and the truck. After tying down the back door to the van to keep the pile of insulation from flying out the back, we took the seat we had removed and slid it on top of the foam, stood the spare tire in between the foam and a side van door, and loaded all the blankets, tire irons, and other stuff that was left into the passengers side floor area. And we were off to BJ's to run a quick errand.
Picking up a few things at BJ's would not normally have been an issue, but when we returned to the van and went to place our purchases in the back, we discovered that we could not simply place the items on top of the insulation because they would roll out the partially open back door of the van and into the road... so the items were creatively stacked next to the spare tire in the little space we had left. And to think we were going to just bring one vehicle!
Hopefully we will be bringing you updated pictures of the cellar with a floor soon.
