One brick at a time

People say, "What is the sense of our small effort?" They cannot see that we must lay one brick at a time, take one step at a time. - Dorothy Day

Two bricks made their way onto our front wall today. They're not attached yet, but will be soon. The concrete mixer is now on-site to mix the mortar, and the bricks are ready to go.

The house is becoming a hive of activity these days. Our meter has been installed, and the electrician is starting tomorrow. If everything goes as planned, we should have hydro running to the house by the end of this week. This is great news for our builder, who can then stop renting the generator for the crew's tools, and it's better for the environment, which isn't crazy about emissions from generators. Our mechanical system will be installed this week too, in preparation for our concrete floors next week. Once the electrical is in, the floor is insulated and the piping for the radiant heating is laid, the yogurt-like DaroTopp light-weight concrete floor will be poured.
