Watching the framing go up is always fun because it goes so quickly. Finishing work takes a lot longer.
The hope is to get the shell of the house weatherproof before the summer rains, assuming they come. But who knows? We’ll just have to see.
There’s many a slip twixt the cup and the lip.
Have you ever noticed that?
Yup. For deck supports, last Sunday, carrying 2 to 3 gallons of concrete in a bucket at a time to an area somewhat inaccessible for a wheel barrow. No rain in site, just a slight chance, but the sky is getting darker.
Karen comes out and tells me it’s probably going to start raining hard shortly.
So I speed up and try to get as much as I can done AND get the mixer cleaned up.
Lower back’s been hurting all week and we got less than 1/2 inch rain over the next 18 hours. The storm cell seemed to dissipate just as it was getting to us.
Hope you get some rain. We may be doin’ some New Mexico travlin’ in September.
Mike,
Sorry about your back, but one never knows. We would love some rain, but after the house is a bit more waterproof . And even then not so much as to cause flash flooding.
September is a great time to come.
Yea!!! Now we’re cookin’.
I have not been able to lift the cup from the table leave alone bring it any where near my lip, for a loooooooooooooong time. My lips are dry but the table refuses to let the cup go!
framing a new place…is like driving past a “cleared house site” and trying to remember what was there?
today my friendly driver and I noted opposite sides of the road were cleared but we knew exactly what used to be on the Lefthand side but not the Righthand side!
Poor Rummuser. You are indeed a sad case. 😀
Cathy,
That’s interesting. Especially that you both remembered and forgot the same things.
bikehikebabe,
Things will no doubt slow down some after the framing is finished. But now is a fun time.
