Yesterday we breakfasted with friends then went to the Colorado School of Mines Geological museum, better known as the gem museum with Steve and Laura.
Trip Log
This is not a commercial but not very often does a car rental experience become a high point of a trip. A few weeks ago I began looking on the internet to reserve a car and everyone wanted at least $170 for a 3 day rental.
We spent Saturday visiting, getting the flowers to Fossil Trace and waiting for it to rain. And it did rain, a good old fashioned gully washer which did not subside until after the scheduled 6PM start time. It was delayed in the hopes of it drying out but it was not to be.
The roof is on, tarpaper anyway. Just in time because there was a big rainstorm after they finished.
Steve and Laura's youngest daughter Kate, is marrying Brian DeBever on Saturday so we flew out to Golden to attend the wedding. I traveled a lot during my career but this is the first time we have flown since I retired in '06.
We have pictures of the roof going up. Today they started and finished the trusses.
Our Fl realtor is having a photographer take pictures of the building of our home and we received those of the finished pad a few days ago. Paul and Carol continue to take excellent pictures of progress on a daily basis.
Last night they put down the visqueen (plastic moisture barrier) and this morning they poured concrete. Paul and Carols sent numerous photos.
Happy Independence Day! Yesterday, Paul & Carol sent quite a few pictures of the rough plumbing and called tonight to say they will be pouring concrete tomorrow. Things are moving fast.
Today we got pictures from both Carol & Paul and our new neighbors showing the work on our lot. They have laid it out and appear to have dug some footers and are installing the forms.
