A quick review reminds me that 1 year ago, to the day, we just finished pouring the 2nd and final slab for the concrete foundation and flatwork. It's been a long year since that time, yet it feels like it passed by in 6 months. When it's 93 degrees out in the baking sun, we will take a water (or gatorade) break every hour or so and set inside the lower garage portion. I let my mind go numb for a couple of minutes to re-kindle the mental and physical fortitude to go back out and do battle. During this time, I catch myself looking around at every stick of lumber, OSB sheeting, 28' long I joists and lam beams. I usually stammer out somethin' like "sum beach".
