slab is beautiful

these pics aren't so great because it was raining and the dude was cutting the scores, but i looked closely at it and it is GORGEOUS.

stupid mailbox

i got my very first piece of mail in my new mailbox yesterday. it was a real estate tax bill.

anyway. today the slab is supposed to be poured. hooray. and i would be over there chronicling it if i didn't need to get my ass in gear and pack up more stuff to bring to storage, get my truck inspected, oil changed etc. and some painting done. i should be able to get over there at some point before dark.

so, here we are, half way through march

i am getting an application for gas service in the mail. the plumbing inspector is due at the lot on friday, so anytime after that the slab can be poured. money is pretty much non-existent. i am completely convinced it will all fall into place though (i can't think otherwise or i would have a breakdown). the scheduled date for the kit's arrival is april 15th (i also owe a good chunk of change to the fed that day).

i met the former owner of the land the other day. she was so great. i loved her.

i am also in the process of trying to move all my stuff out of my current space by the end of march. thank god for my knight in shining armor, as shannon calls him. my temporary studio (and furniture storage) is in a very nice big and bright industrial bay in eastham that i am renting from raquel and jason. and lou, thanks for the moving help so far.

below is a pic of my kitchen sink. i bought it from a good good friend, for much less than it should have been. it's giant. it's an antique soapstone double bowl farm sink. and it weighs 250 lbs. um. help?

!!!!!

let's put all this foundation business behind us

this morning i met with kevin and ira... and they were very patient with the 'unconventional' plans. we'll make it all work, i'm sure. i also spoke to junior and he is gonna throw the two ground rods in sometime this week. so the slab should be able to happen next week.
