Post and beam, plumbing, and heating . . .

  The foundation has been poured and the forms stripped off. The rough plumbing is done and also initial heating will be done on Friday. Things are moving so fast. It's so much fun to go and watch the people working. Jordan and my Dad hauled rock all day to fill the garage to the right level. 12 loads of gravel which is around 140 some odd tons. They were very busy. My Dad hauled it and Jordan moved the rock and compacted it in between each load. We are now calling for an inspection on the the plumbing, and when the heating guys are done on Friday the framers will jump back in and put the decking on (probably Monday). They said that they will mark out each room like Jordan had done and we can go through any changes we want made. I can't wait.
Here is our foundation


This is the post and beams on the foundation

Our first load of lumber. It's for the roof.

  Will keep trying to update the blog at each phase.

  I had a doctors appointment on Tuesday and everything was fine. I go next Thursday and he said anytime after that he is fine with inducing me. But I think I've waited this long, so I will just wait for little "Roy" to come when he feels like it. The time will go fast anyways since the house has started and going so fast. 2 weeks!!! I have had a couple of days where I have been so dizzy that I literally couldn't keep my head up and I was bouncing off walls. Ended up being Vertigo. It did go away, but that was really crazy. 2 more weeks for random weird things to come up. 
  Austyn and Jordan are both fine. Austyn has started a real whinny streak. Very dramatic as well. And Jordan is loving (from what I can tell) the progress of the house and all that comes along with it. I'll keep you updated.
