custom home ++ gravel under my basement and seed on my shoulder 05/23/2003
« Previous entry: footings done || Next entry: foundation is poured »
We now have a bunch of gravel in the basement. Plus the county seeded the shoulder along where they graded the road.
Ever one to miss the obvious, the first thing I noticed was that chalk lines had been snapped along the footings, marking where the forms for the walls will go. I missed seeing the several tons of gravel that had been dumped in th bottom of the excavation.
I also did a bit of mowing, you can see in the last pic. Note also I've now taken 4,000 pics with this digital camera (Fuji FinePix 1400). I expect to hit about six or seven thousand before the project is done.

is this going to be the linear "modding cave"?

4,500 pictures!?!?!?! WOW, remind me not to ask you for a slide show of your house. But it's looking very nice!

Really cool to see the progress. I just stumbled onto this site following a link to some of your case-mods.
The oportunities of tailoring a house to your own needs appeals to me, and this is a route I'm interested in for my own future needs. Granted, we'll probably still be happy in our current place for a few more years. :-)
