With the old house now demolished and out of the way, construction can begin on the new house.
First a secure foundation needs to be laid:
 |
| Rebar will make the house sturdy |
The majority of the work was done by hand.
 |
| Mixing concrete by hand |
 |
| Mix that concrete!! |
The "chicken coop" where Sweetie's sister and her family were living during the construction was not totally horrid, as you can see. (In the pic is a neighbor girl.)
Lots of rebar should help make this house very sturdy.
 |
| Hooray for rebar! |
 |
| We love rebar! |
We quickly ran out of materials, and had to order some more.
 |
| More Gravel! |
Things are going well, so far. We just hope we don't run out of money before the house is complete!
