We arrived late Sat. afternoon, 10/8. The lower walls were up with the main support beams for the upper floor.

      Forms for the retaining wall almost complete.

      Standing at the kitchen window.
     | 
   
   
    
     
       
     
      The door on the right leads to the ping pong room.

      10/13/05. Upper floor joists are in.
     | 
    
     
       
     
      The frame to the right is the end of the parking deck. The window in it will be in the ping pong room.

      Waiting for the cement truck to arrive. The upper retaining walls are ready to be poured.

      Mike the plumber is on the scene.

      The city installed our water meter last week.  We're about to take our first drink from the main water line.

      Standing on the floor of the music room for the first time.  The view will do. Our bedroom is to the left.

      That beam ought to hold the piano.
     | 
    
     
       
     
      The cement truck arrived - rear views.
     | 
   
   
    
     
       
     
      The cement is pumped though this hose.
     | 
    
     
       
     
      Très bizzare, n'est-ce pas?
     | 
    
     
       
     
      Pouring the "great wall" of retension. Music room view.

     | 
    
     
       
     
      The cement man - very sweet.
     | 
    
     
       
     
      Behind the scene - we left them to figure it out.
