Bobcat Training

Whenever we have the kids up they like to use the "bobcat". Yesterday, Sherri got into the cab and had her first lesson. (These pictures were taken on Sherri's Canon  Powershot G12, by her unless she is in them, then I took it)

She looks a little nervous, but did just fine. Whenever they use the machine and don't tip it over, it's just fine.

Of course Mom had do give some last minute instructions.

My first bucket...................................................... and I didn't spill it. Yeah!

Steel and mortar delivered on Saturday.

Durisol Blocks. We are using these to build all perimeter walls. They come with insulation and the hollow core will be filled with concrete. The walls without additional insulation are rated R28.

Supper time and Andrew cooked "ribs and chicken". DELICIOUS!

Time to eat.

Time to relax.

Today it's time to work. The crew will soon be here and work on our "frost" wall will begin. Enjoy your week and drop by in a few days to see our progress.
