Here the guys are connecting tall rebar to the short rebar that was part of the foundation and cornerstones. Steel rebar through the cement walls in the basement makes for strong support of the upper level.
The workers are standing on the molds for the bottom half of the basement walls as they continue to connect rebar throughout the walls. Zoey looks on. We have taken her out a couple of times so she will get used to the new area before we actually move. We don't want her to run away to our old house. She seems to love wandering the fields.
These are the metal molds that are going to be used to form the cement walls. The steel rebar runs right through the center.
More of the same.
And again.
Kylee, Kaitlin, and Conner are sliding down one of the hills. I keep waiting for them to keep sliding down and into the hole, but it hasn't happened yet. I will keep my fingers crossed.
The molds are off, and we have walls!
Kylee and Kaitlin have gone down the dirt ramp for a closer inspection. The openings are the windows in the basement. The girls wanted to climb through them but I wouldn't let them as there is still a lot of equipment and tools around and I didn't want them to get hurt.
The long view of the basement, from the opposite side where the Moon's will be living. We have been wondering how the construction will work for the Moon's. All of the trucks just drive all over the place - on our land, the Moon's and the Jacob's. Good thing these are all vacant lots, but come the time the Moon's are building it won't be like that. Not my problem though!

Every couple of days we stop by and look and the kids love climbing on the dirt pile and accessing the progress! It is sure happening fast!
Thanks for the pictures. I loving hear things are moving forward.
