Year 6, Day 94. “Living the Dream”. Sunday, 8/02/2026, Clifty Hill 3. Half day work. Verified foundation is on size and square. It had not been checked since the first block was put down. It was another reason to celebrate with a Diet Coke. The main basement foundation is ready to build on. Main girder was started. This consists of three Southern Yellow Pine 2×12’s running the length of the house. This girder will support the weight of the home. The weight load is passed along right down to those concrete footings. It is truly amazing to think about how the work we are doing here is so important. The whole process of weight load is amazing. The joists hold the floor up and push down on the girder. The girder pushes down on the posts and the posts push down on the concrete floor and footings. From there that weight load is passed safely into the earth. In the afternoon we picked up a few more cases of Diet Coke. We expect to do a lot of celebration toasts this month.

Daily Reflection:
Here’s a link to today’s Amazon recommendation: https://amzn.to/4z8YvEo GRANNY SAYS Storage Bins with Lids These closet storage boxes are excellent quality and look great sitting on your closet shelf. They are a nice size and come in a three packs. I have six of them now. One of the best parts is that they have lids keep the items inside out of sight and dust free. They also have card holders to remind you of what is hidden in each box.
