Not as easy as we thought!

After nearly breaking his back unrolling the first 1000 foot long spool of radient heat tubing....

He got smart and in true Daniel tradition, made an invention to make the job easier! What a smart guy I married!

"smilies"

Kristy became a master at bending "smilies," they are the wire rebar ties that have to be bent into a "U" shape. We called them smilies.

Laura doesn't really have her own room in our new house, so Daniel is sharing his office with her so she will stop pouting.

Heather is not dead.

















I was desparate!

Rebar time.

Since they won't be spending time at the lake this summer, the girls decide to get their tan while tying rebar!





Heather was wondering if tying rebar would count as a homemaking skill for her Personal Progress.

We did it!

It took us all day in 110 degree heat, but we finished the insulation, and are ready for rebar!

Still going......

Daniel showed up with 310 sheets of rigid insulation.... we got it all pieced together and layed down where the radient heat will go. These girls were awsome!

A long day

First we smooth out the gravel and spread the yellow plastic insulation.....not so bad!

A long day

Kristy and Laura are the best looking construction workers ever!

4th of July fun

While some families go camping or boating on the 4th of July, not us, we really know how to have fun! We cleaned up the concrete from around the footings, laid out the rigid insulation where the radient heating will go, and generally had a blast! It was a blazing 112 degrees so the boss made sure we had lots of breaks and water.
