After the frames had been set, concrete was poured into them to establish the living spaces of the lower level which will be approximately 1000 square feet. On the rear of the house, this solid foundation would meet a concrete block foundation that would outline a crawl space and provide support to the master bedroom, the living room and the dining room. Masons, working with Dave Wiggins, began to set the block during the latter part of June.
Our three year old grand-daughter joined her Pa Pa for a visit to the site with her best friend, Murphy. Maddy and Murphy romped through the giant sand piles while John and I inspected the very precise work
Once the perimeter was established and the electrical and plumbing were set, Dave and his team poured the lower level floor. While the concrete initially looked like West Texas mud, it is actually colored concrete which will be polished to create the lower level floor.
John and Dave stand in our first completed "room," a storage room on the lower level.
