Moonlighting for my Sis

[shipperx]

I know I've been MIA on-line a lot and it's only partially due to work.  Part of it is due to still working on my sister's house (which she still drives me nuts about daily).  So, after months of aggravation, two stress induced psoriasis outbreaks, and more headaches and back aches (from sitting at the computer doing CAD after 9 hours of actual paying work doing CAD), we've moved onto construction of my sister's house  (I swear to god, my own house could fit into the attic of this one.  My sister is my sister, and I love her greatly, but -- whoa -- she wants a lot)

Anyway, pics of where we are to date:

Before Shot.  (Before we even had a permit to build)






Six months later (when we finally had a permit) we cleared the site:

(In the industry, we call this 'raping the site'.  But we didn't have a choice, the damn house fills the entire lot)







Forms for the pouring of concrete foundation walls (I know.  They're daunting!  Had to do it because this is all backfilled)

I mentioned that this site has a +20% slope, right?

More or less the state that it's in now  (the more recent work is plumbing/wiring):

(Drove by yesterday and they have now begun laying the brick and stone for the exterior)
