December 2015
We have rented a tractor with a bucket, and are putting the gravel base into the solar mass area. We also have a compactor, and we’re compacting it very hard, since the concrete blocks and the slab will go on top of the gravel.
We have the concrete blocks laid in place, and our contractor is coming to pour the concrete slab over them. Once that is done, we can start with the next steps of the process.
Our daughter is coming for the holidays, and she will be able to help put up some walls with us.
We have the rest of the north wall, the west wall, part of the south wall, part of the east wall, and the central wall put in place at the end of the month. The only wall area still open is the area around the slab. We’ll get the roof joists and decking delivered and have them put it directly onto the slab.
