This is Brother Dave and Brother Bill's new house. I'll let Bill and Dave fill in the details. I work for the construction company building the house. This pic is from last wed. We now have the floor on, and we are starting on the first story walls in the morning. I can't wait to haul all of the plywood up for the second story floor and roof............ Many more pictures to follow........ Last edited by Master_Bonzi; 10/02/05.

OP Calvin Campfire Ranger C Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 23,521 Likes: 15	Actually, I filled the trophy room with rock and dirt. I then leveled it, and used a plate compactor to pack it down. So, it's not full of water, it's full of dirt, with a very shallow layer of water on top that didn't soak into my well compacted dirt. We will be putting foam on the dirt and then pouring a slab foundation for that part of the house. Nothing is as fun as spreading two dumptruck loads of dirt by yourself..........

Women the size of the Brothers' intendeds need a serious anchor... art Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.
