Finishing Foundation Stuff

A lot has happened in the past 9 days since my last post, so to catch up I'm just going to write in some captions:

Hey, where did all of the workers go?  Things finally warmed up enough for them to pour the garage slab.  Don't let all of the snow fool you, the week they poured it was above freezing during the afternoons.  I got over there after all of the work was done already that day.

Last Friday they started work on the crawlspace.  It's not quite a basement, but we should be able to get some storage space out of it.  It's about 4 or 5 feet deep.  Sitting on top are the floor joists, ready to go.

Hey!  Get back to work!  Jesse, in the front, is our contractor.  His phone rings all. the. time.

Here's a nice shot of the joists.  I couldn't believe it, but they are made out of a wood composite.  They must use some really strong glue to hold those wood chips together!  Jesse said that they are really nice because they are all perfectly straight, and they have good protection against deterioration.

The KFC/Taco Bell that's opening up in Waunakee has the same problem you have. Our owner and our General Manager are always on their phones. More working less talking!
