I designed it. Drew it up. Starting to look like a house now.

I believe in science and I’m an insufferable [censored] Actually, BBC is pretty damn good "You Cannot Simultaneously Be Politically Correct And Intellectually Honest!"

You're alright I don't care what they say.to think the plumber was mad that I withheld 10% because they were above the slab. Glad you'll take free help. I was able to get all of them cut off except a gray one (blade broke), but bonus, I had some bagged concrete, so I went ahead and filled the pipe hole nice and smooth On a less serious note, are you going to build a safe/storm room? My brother did, he said it sure gives you a feeling of security during storms, probably never need it, but...

No safe room. Thinking about one of those little rooms from home depot in the garage though. Probably hide in there when my two daughters get a bit older.

They sheeted the roof Tuesday. Lumber was delivered Friday. Started framing walls today in between my 2 daughters birthday parties. They turned 2 & 4.
