Concrete, steel and blocks
-

Building permit is granted (Thanks to Missy's plans) and the engine room gets a deck
-

A bit more clearing, the foundation is dug and the steel in place
-

I take a rest while the professionals move in
-
I need more help with the floor. Thanks Dwight!
-

Joseph mixes, Dwight pushes the buggy and I spread
-

At last the walls start going up, and they are nearly straight!
-

Hurricane Isabel threatens to blow them down again. The hole is for the septic.
-

I thought I was paying Joseph to do this? Missy is pleased with progress though
-

Now it is starting to look like a house!
-

Coming in the back door. Or is it the front door?
-

The forms for the belt course are all on. It looks like I am coming up in the world!
-

So....What do we do now Joseph? Oh, I see!
-

The belt course is poured. This is the kitchen and I am in the library.

From up here you can watch the sun set into the Caribbean.

Now it's time to celebrate. "And every bucket of concrete was lifted up on a rope!"
