It's starting to look like a "house"

Just a quick weekly update on our house in San Antonio. This picture was taken on Tuesday 6/30/09. They've got all the pipes laid for the plumbing and drainage, and the supports up for the foundation.


We had our first pre-construction meeting on Thursday and everything looks good so far. They plan on pouring the foundation this Wednesday (7/8/09) and if the weather holds up, they will start framing on Friday. So by the time we get back from Colorado- all the walls should be up, and ready for our second construction meeting before they start to hang the sheet rock. The construction guy we are dealing with ( Richard) seems pretty optimistic about finishing up by the end of August first part of September.

this was taken on Thursday 7/2/09- everything has been back poured- and is ready for the foundation.


While in San Antonio this past week, Greg and I were able to find a very nice living arrangement for us before the house is done. We will be staying in the "Pent House" Not really- but it's a 2 story hotel room with tons of room for the dogs and us. So the month of being "homeless" shouldn't be so bad.


We will be leaving for Colorado on Thursday. My "little" niece is getting married on Saturday- it's hard to believe she's old enough ( after all, I was in the 6th grade when she was born) Yicks- I just aged myself pretty good..... then on Monday- we are going to take some family photos in the morning and then Celebrating my parents 50th anniversary with friends and family. It's going to be a world - wind trip, but we are both looking forward to the time away.

Hope everyone had a safe and Happy 4th of July !!!
Love,
Tina and Greg
