Quoting my outspoken friend, Judy Hensley...

"I'm tired of (hearing about) bond beams and concrete blocks! "
"ME TOO!," replied Dave.
As you can see in this picture we were able to pour about half of the bond beam this afternoon so all the boring reports on such matters will SOON be over and we'll be telling you about more exciting things... LIKE PUTTING ROOFS ON IRISH COTTAGES.
Sorry for the blurred picture but this is a shot of the line level on the string pulled from the SE corner of the east wall to the SW corner of the west wall. I was holding my breath but IT'S LEVEL... or close enough that fixing it will be a simple matter.
As well as being tired of my bond beam diatribes, Judy also mentioned she couldn't find the picture of the Irish cottage on which we based our house design. Our house will be approximately twice as big as the tiny cottage, below (Brigid's Wood: 1456 sq. ft.). Additionally, our cottage will have a blue tin roof that buts on both ends to a 15" knee wall (with no overhang). The cottage look will be the same although ours will have a "mortgage free" red door, climbing roses on the stucco and NO grass to mow..
