| Late Sept 2007---Grouting has begun. We are grouting the seams in the blocks before they are backfilled with concrete. This keeps us from having seepage and a lot of clean-up from the back-fill mixture. The pale blue in the cavity of the blocks is the insulating foam. | |

I made a little video of Don placing a block. Mike is operating the crane and they are communicating closely. |
|
We do a good bit of cutting. We are adapting blocks for this project that were originally poured for a house in North Mississippi that was not built. The ends of corner blocks are cut out so the back-fill concrete will flow thru them and provide a very strong structure. |

| The floor of the garage will be poured after the first two courses of blocks are in place and they will act as the forms for the floor. | |
| Beautiful weather has made things very pleasant on this property. Fall is the absolute best down here. | |
