Despite bad weather, and a few other difficulties the 
building has started. The trenches and footings were dug and cement poured. Vern and the boys were fantastic - and under some difficult circumstances!!! Brent from BC Build has communicated progress all the along the way.

Brent from BC Build has communicated progress all the along the way.I can actually see some of the rooms. The piers and footings are in place (apologies if I occasionally get my building terms wrong - I am learning but slowly!!). The bearers and joists are going down today and very soon the slab for the garage is being poured (Wow a few building terms there!!).
Last weekend we (I was the apprentice) had to bring the mains from the pole to the "conduit under the house" before the floor went in (i know that is not the right term and I am sure I will be corrected). With Steve way up the pole and me on the ground we had to pull and push for hours to get them in. And what do electricians use when they need to push big things through small holes. Lube!! Well with a lot of pushing and pulling we finally got them through - thank god for the lube!! Only one slight tipping of the ladder up the pole!! When we finished we were exhausted and hardly moved all afternoon. But when we turn those lights on it will be with some pride that we have brought power to the house!
And this weekend we had to repeat the exercise all over again, and again last night we could not move. Thank God for the help from Michael (Jet Electrical)!
