28 - 31 May 2007 The New Beginnings

26 May - Dedication	27 May - The Dedication Aftermath	When Glass Hits Cement ...	The Dedication Memorial
Cook's Never Put to Better Use	28 May Memorial Day at Roads End
29 May - Final Foundation Work - Digging out and filling the Foundation	This will be a vast improvement of the last crawl space	We think the vents go on top to control moisture - The Insurance Company says the go on the bottom to let flood waters out	We put in a French Drain to pull high water away from the foundation
	Dominion VA Power wanted the pole wired differently - still need them to put the meter in.		End of the Foundation Work.  Tomorrow - 30 May - the framers start
Where is everybody? A couple of sill boards laid on top of the foundation - that's it.  No electricity ...!	Evidence that the Framers were here, but no construction done today - went to buy a new generator	Hmmm, ... or maybe they have more than construction planned - a little fishing maybe?	May 31  Off and Running ... Joist In, Floor down, A wall up, another coming - we got there about 6:30 PM
Nancy approaches her new home ... wow!	Look!  Front Steps already!	Floor already in and walls going up	There were 5 in the crew when we arrived
			All-in-all, not a bad first day's work. They do excellent work, and the materials used appear flawless.
