The first of the framing, a weekend's work!

The garage slab was pored about a week ago now. Here is Don cutting in the lines. It's done now and covered in plastic so that it cures slower. I guess that helps prevent cracking?

The wood has been arriving. Eben has brought some home, and we've had some deliveries. Elia made a brave climb! She was the first to walk on what will be the floor.
And she's always willing to lend a hand. She's a big fan of the air hose. We just have to keep the poor dogs out of her way. They are not big fans of her with the air hose.
Here's Eben on the garage, laying out the greenboard around the stemwalls.

Here's our new back deck, straight out of a shanty town. The floor will be the floor of the back addition at some point in time. Right now it's nice just to have a deck for the kids and dogs again and to think that soon, this space will be inside!

This is what Eben was working on this weekend. This is the floor of the mudroom, and you can see he has cut away some of the house to start building the walls.
Boy are we excited to get rid of the blue bath tub...though we are a ways away from that moment.
