2 Jan. '09This is the view today. The builder brought in the needed equipment for the foundation concrete mixing. Lumber, sand, gravel and other items. First step was to line the bottoms of the holes with a layer of concrete to place the footing rebar on. This process happened over the weekend in preparation for the raising/blessing on Monday the 5th.pklongballJan 03, 2009

50 percent of the wallHere we see two side walls built with the back and front yet to go. The price of the plot included a complete wall and gate. It is the poorest, cheapest wall money can buy but if it lasts a couple of years I'll be happy.pklongballDec 30, 2008
