Many thanks to family and friend's!!!!


Well, we had an amazingly productive weekend that could not have taken place without our friend's and family. Clint's parents came all the way from Oregon and then our friend's, Brad and Gena, came up from Great Falls.


With all of their help, we got a lot done and are on the way to having a cabin!!!



Here is a picture I took as I was leading the concrete truck to the property. Montana is truly "big country", you can just barely see the site.





As all of you know who have worked with concrete, I couldn't snap any pictures while we were pouring, but this is what the slab looked like right before!



So, the pour went well, and then the next morning, we woke up to this....




Luckily, it didn't freeze hard, just got cold enough to snow. The slab looked pretty good for a bunch of "rookies"!!!






Then, some of the snow melted, and we were able to strip the forms.


Then the walls started going up...

One of our favorite cheerleaders!

Clint, Bill, and Sheri inside the structure with all four walls...



A storm had rolled in, but here is a look at the view from inside.



The walls are up, windows are in... Yahoo!!!


Here are the tired, but happy, workers!
