(Building Progress) House Plans are starting to look like a HOME!!!

[Landrover]

Welcome to the last 6 weeks of our lives!!! (Really the last 3+ years, but who is counting)

Slab pouring action! Final tally was about 240 yards of squishy stuff!


After about 10 days of curing the slab and testing we were off to the races!!! Some rain and then the sun/heat came back with a vengence!!!

The trophy room/office space is to the far left with the high pitched roof. Approximately 25 foot ceilings with lots of wall space needing "thwacked" critters!!! Thanks for all the GREAT ideas you shared for the trophy/office space! I even had room for the 150 gallon aquarium to be semi-built into the wall and not to mention the balcony for 3D target practice upstairs.


After loosing about 2 days to rain storms we are back in the game and still 3 weeks ahead of schedule!!!

Starting to wrap it up as 'energy efficiency' is KEY for us after selling a 23 year old house!!!

Thanks to the TBH BRAINTRUST for helping this neophyte "general contractor" avoid lots of pitfalls so far. I am sure I will be needing tons of help once the "doors & windows" are in place late next week as I attempt to plan my getaway to South Africa in 15 days!!!
