Albi Custom-built
Home - More Choices – Whew!
More meetings, more choices but what about the building?
Delayed...still. At this point we don't care anymore. This is the sad thing.
Weeks goes by...well months actually...sigh. We have more meetings and then
finally...
We Have a Hole!
A year later, after the date of our deposit, we see some
action. We now have a hole dug. All of a sudden we believe in the house-thing
again. It was a house-thing but now it will be our home, our beautiful dream
home. This is a reality! We drive by the hole many times. The kids talk about
the hole at school. Grandparents hear all about the hole. Everybody within
earshot, texting and social media knows that we have a hole. Soon, the
foundation is laid and the windows arrive at the site. It is time for Nancy and
me to celebrate. We hug and hold on tight. It will be a home very soon.
We Meet the Framer –
He will Frame our House – Awesome!
We drop by the site to meet the man, named Cody. He is a
one-man show, honest, who will build the house walls, subfloors, roof, and even
install the windows. He has developed a building method where he will build everything
himself. Then with the help of a crane he will assemble it. Wow, we think he is
great!
Another Christmas and
More Delays

Windows have arrived.

The weather is not cooperating. It is the Holiday Season
after all and the framer takes some time off. Things could be worse. It could
be colder, really. Weather in the rest of Canada, like Ontario for instance, is
-40 degrees Celsius with the wind chill. LOL, it's even warmer in the
Antarctic. More LOL, Iquanas in Florida are freezing and falling from trees.
Sheesh...okay a warm spell. We wait for a wall....just one wall please...still
waiting...
