Earthquake Saftey & A Solid Foundation

Oh yes, we got another REALLY BIG TOY to play with...a giant drill!
To make sure our house will stand strong we have to drill 33 18 in diameter piers, add rebarb, and pour in concrete to create supports. The drilled out hole were so big that someone could fall in and get stuck. They are 16 feet deep!

The guys have started laying the wood out to begin pouring the cement piers and foundation--all the good stuff to keep us standing if a major earthquake hits. We have been doing "foundation" prep for a while though. A few weeks ago we had our Small Group from Church come over for dinner and pray over the whole project, including the land, the foundation, the structure, the safety & lives of the workers, and most importantly: that God use this building in it entirety to bring glory and honor to His Name for His use and His Plan.

IT IS STARTING TO COME TO LIFE!!!
When I saw the footings and the actually framing of the drawings and plans we have been studying for so long, I was totally thrilled and a bit amazed. It is exciting and each day there is something fun and new!
