We have had a lull in construction this past week or so. You may remember me telling you about the time it would take for the slab to cure? Well... We had a cold snap right after the slab was poured. This made the curing process a bit longer than expected.
Things have gotten off high center. The cables for the Post-Tension System were pulled to their 25,000 PSI.
The cables went from this,
To THIS!
When the brick is laid, it will cover the cables. There are a total of 27 cables in the slab. At 25,000 PSI per cable, there is A LOT of tension in our slab.
Yesterday afternoon, I got a big surprise.
BUILDING MATERIALS ARRIVED!!!
I heard a noise, looked out the front door and this is what I saw.
I screamed!
All of the sudden
BOOM!
It was better than seeing Santa!
Can you believe ALL of the walls to our house were on that truck?!
This time, I was able to send Flower Boy a text!
Hoping and Praying for walls by Christmas. Maybe even today!
