WONDER WOMAN<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We took the girls to the drive in to see a double feature of Wonder Woman (Great!) \u00a0and the 5th Pirates of the Caribbean (Good!) It was a perfect summer evening and even though we didn’t get home until 3am it was a very fun time!<\/p>\n

CONSTRUCTION UPDATE:<\/h2>\n

With the blocks stacked and the rebar cut and placed I spent the weekend filling the blocks with cement. This took 48 buckets of gravel, 48 buckets of sand, 6 buckets of water and four bags of cement, all carried over a rickety bridge to my friend the cement mixer. Once the blocks were filled, my friend Stephen came over and we used 9 bags of surface bond cement to coat, seal and bond the bloks in place. I place anchors for the sills and then poured a footer for the retaining wall. Now it is time to do the drainage and then we can backfill and begin the timber part of the house!<\/p>\n
