The weekend is here again...

We finaly got electricity!

This week was spent getting the forms delivered - they only arrived on Wednesday...

Once they arrived the difficult task of putting them up began. I didn't realize how much is involved - everything has to be leveled then measured then chalk lines have to be made on the forms to show the height of the concrete etc etc.

Some of the forms are 10 feet high so scaffolding had to be build, that took up some very valuable time also.

Friday, all the outside forms were finally in place. I was recruited to help pull some lines so I worked at the site all day. Today the inside ones should be well on their way to being done. I might have to help again, to put some kind of metal bars in between the forms, for extra support or something like that. I hope it doesn't rain!!!

The backhoe guy came to try to take the septic tank out to move it and lower it so we don't have to buy a special pump, since we have a bathroom in the basement. Well he gave up and left. Monday he will try something else. It seems the tank is very heavy and it's not as easy as it looks to move something like that...

The concrete is being poured first thing Monday morning.

Two swans just swam by as I'm writing this. The only other wildlife I saw this week were some ducks surfing on the beach and I felt like joining them - if only I had a wetsuit!
