We finally finished laying the block! We began two weeks ago yesterday, and it has been the most daunting task by far. I'm pretty sure we'd pay someone to do it if we could do it all over again...
This past weekend, Ken and Nat finished up all the block they could:
On Monday, the fill dirt was poured to the bottom of the chair block. A big dump truck came to deliver the dirt, and I was bummed I didn't make it in time for that. When I arrived, they were nearly finished evening it all out!
This evening, we closed up that gap:
The garage, nice and flat!
View from the southwest corner of the house. Think the garage is big enough?
View of bedroom, from the south
All that flat and even dirt already dug up. Plumbing will be placed in those big ditches.
Mixing our last batch of mud!
Prepping for the last two blocks...
Ken let me lay the last block. I probably laid a total of 3 out of 800, but who's counting?
Woo hoo! Plumbing is installed next, then slab is poured. At this point, we have to make sure we have all plumbing-related plans in place: hose bibs, summer kitchen, etc. Concrete should be poured within 1-2 weeks.
