Main House Posts

You know those concrete pads Peter made? They were for these main house posts.  The posts are gigantic!  I have no earthly idea how Peter wrestled them all into place (after placing the 160 lb. concrete pads down in all the holes, which he dug, by hand...oh wait, no, he did rent a post-hole digger for those but STILL, this husband of mine is a machine!!)

Overlooking the cellar

All the house posts, not just porch post, installed!

So exciting to see things starting to be coming out of the ground that will be your house one day! I'm so impressed with Peter's hard work!
