Haven't been to Wildbranch all week until today, mainly because we got a bunch of rain and I figured there wouldn't be much progress.  Boy, was I wrong.  Port-a-pottie, electric line had been run and the foundation poured.  That giant gapping hole of red clay and rock is starting to look like it could become a house!  I am astounded at how quickly things change at the building site.  I admire the workers and the builders and appreciate how they can pull all the pieces together to build a house.  I need to remember to ask them how many houses they have built in their careers.  I'm sure that they think what they are doing is not a big deal, but I sure do.

The mud at Wildbranch is red and intensely sticky, leaving red stain on anything that is a lighter shade such as the white flowers on my rubber boots.  After we got home I tried to spray off my boots but couldn't get all of the muddy stain off and its cold today so I've given up and will wait for the mud to harden and chisel it off lol.  


Hard to believe we could possibly get more rain next week, but that is what is forecast--every bloody day next week.  So I don't know if it will dry out enough up at the site for the trucks to bring in the lumber.  But my job next week is to work on getting all the paperwork done for the water meter to be installed and the line to be hooked up.  Oh yeah, here's what's cool about the water--I have to read my own meter.  Isn't that too funny!
