We have a floor!

This weekend we made the floor box. We have thin plywood on the bottom just to keep mice out of the insulation, then 2x6 joists then r19 insulation and tongue and groove sub floor on top. Tons of liquid nails and screws...we do NOT want a squeaky floor!

 Lots of glue and screws....

Boo crawled into her carseat and caught some zzz's while we worked on the floor.

Checking out the new floor....I think they like it :)

Skids down

I guess that is what you call it...skids? Anyway, got all 15 posts in the ground and all the concrete poured. For this project it took 48 80lb bags of quickcrete. Going to start work on the floor box as soon as possible. May be on hold for a while though so we can deal with my grandpas house. A pipe broke inside and flooded part of it and the floor is in really poor shape now so probably need to replace that. Fun stuff!

So here are the skids part way done (totally done now)

And Little Guy putting rocks in the concrete mixer, he totally gets it!

Concrete more than half done...

Dad went out and poured more concrete last night. We have 5 more holes to do and hope to get them done tonight or tomorrow night....Maybe, just maybe if it is nice out on Sunday we can get some of the pressure treated framing up!!! Oh, this is the fun part :)

Posts and concrete!

We have 15 holes for posts dug with an ogger...meaning that they are full of loose dirt since the ogger didn't clean them out. They are about 4 feet deep each. We cleaned out 5 of them and set the posts in those 5. They are leveled and we got concrete poured in 2 of them today before working on the well a little. Tomorrow we plan to at least pour the concrete in the 3 remaining holes that are ready....but we hope to get a few more cleaned out, posts leveled and concrete poured. We went and bought the pressure treated 2x10x12's and the rest of the concrete today. I feel great that we are getting somewhere! Oh, and we set up a small play area for the kiddos near the building site complete with small slides,  trucks, shovels, a table, chairs, and a pack n play for when we need to contain Little Man. I plan to keep a running cost total for the whole house, I just need to figure out how to make a list like that on this blog, maybe with a link on the side??
