Pretty tired today.  We drank a fait bit last night to celebrate getting our permit for footings.  I'm not sure how much of this we should do.  If we continue celebrating every permit and every job well done we'll be drunks before we finish.

It was nice to let loose last night since we did work very hard.

I still can't believe we got done so quickly since we had a few setbacks along the way that cost us four days.  With one weekend in between we still finished 300' of form work for footings, levelling the ground, levelling the forms, making everything square in a ten day span.  Started the dig on the 10th and got the permit on the 20th.  Not bad for one son, mostly full time, who has no experience in building or using saws and hammers.  Although he sure does now, he is a quick learner. We have done some work like this before but find it a lot harder now that we are older.  Still up for the challenge though.

Anyway I am taking today off to nurse this hangover and see if I can convince myself to change my ways.  Not likely!
