The subfloor is down!

As of 6 pm this evening, the subfloor is down. The guys worked hard all day placing the I-beams on and laying the subfloor. David has been working right along side the crew and is learning about what it means to be the contractor. He said that this morning there were 15 guys on site from four different services and things were a zoo. He is saving us so much money by being the general contractor. The plumbers are planning to work all day tomorrow, doing what they do. The framing crew, including David, will be framing up the exterior walls! Things should really start to take shape in the next few days. I took some fun pictures of the kids on the new subfloor, but left my camera in the shop, so I'll have to post those tomorrow.



Rachel stepped on a nail Sunday evening. It went through the heel of her tennis shoe and into her heel. She was dancing!!! She called it a "super hatzmat dance"! She is such a creative soul! Anyway, it was looking pretty bad this morning, with a band of redness moving up the arch of her foot, so we made a visit to the doctor's office. Nothing that a tetanus shot and a round of antibiotics won't cure. The funny thing is that it isn't bothering her a bit. If it were a small scratch, she wouldn't be able to walk, but she is fine with this injury. She told me that it was a "miracle!" Just part of being on the construction crew!
