26-27 May - Foundation Week Extended

G&P Masonary back at it - 6:30 AM!	Hmmm, the foundation walls are all up, but some piers appear to be missing	Yep, new footer holes have been dug and cement poured.  End of day 2	Meanwhile, next door... "Harold, we need a bottle of champange..."
While we christian the foundation, Phil tries to catch every last dorp to ensure no champagne is lost.	A foundation is more than just a stone ...	Sunday, 27 May.  The foundation is finished.  The Piers are properly aligned.  All is right with the world ....	Even the county agrees ...  see even the electrical is approved.  What could stop us now?

18-25 May - Foundation Week

First Stirrings - Electric Pole is planted ...	... and the PortaJon arrives	Friday the spray paint crew mark out the foundation trace	Monday, 21 May, the footers are dug...
... and lined with steel rod	Crew worked from sunrise to sunset	Just about ready for the inspector on Tuesay	Tueday is inspection day ...
Our first Green Stamp - Good to go for pouring on Wednesday	Thursday 2PM Darn - I missed the pumper truck used to pour the footers	From 1 to 2 PM ... Pumped, dumped, smoothed, gone in about an hour	25 May 2007 The block is located 40 miles away and delivered by Lindal
Hmmm, block is here who is the crew?	Original foundation contractor backed out at last minute.  G&P Masonry stepped in with a no notice crew!	When you need a cement wall foundation built - call G&P Masonry.  Gary's crew was excellent!    761-1602	Day one foundation work!

  After the Crew Departs, the Inspectors Arrive to  Closely Examine the Works

Looks like a dual inspection team	They have brought along an outside consultant	Checking out the day's work	Inspection covered every inch
The Inspector gets ready to announce his findings	I like it this much	Seems to be unaminous	Meanwhile, the Summer Hire is still working down on her hands and knees checking out the smallest detail
