NEXT

WOW, it's getting all together!
The foundation blocks being placed
Working under the house.... removing the tires that helped prop up the house
The front - all together...

The porch now attached...
One side of blocks done... preparing the next side...
One side completed, waiting for cement pour...
Work area inside the house...
Looking out the front living room window (ocean view is just above the car)...

View of Boney Ridge Mountain from side living room window (has one of the highest peaks in the area)
How the house is propped up while awaiting foundation
And here's the front!
And the back! (with our temporary electric pole)
As dusk approaches, a view of the right side... the house blends in nicely with colors of the surrounding environment

AND SOON ANOTHER DAY ... AND MORE WORK ON THE HOUSE!

Actually, there's a little more to it than that!!


Wow, there's two pieces of our house...
sitting on the beach, waiting....


And, here's the other piece going up the driveway....


It was a tight squeeze but it fits!
Using the remote to move the house slowly up the driveway....

The first piece coming in for a landing!


The remote tractor angling in the house.....

After positioning the house, the tow truck takes the crawler down to get the next piece...


Getting the crawler under the next piece ....



Cute remote tractor... nice remote tractor... it brought us our house!


Here comes the next part!!!

Getting it up the small hill!



Backing up toward the gate...


A couple of cars wait while the house is angled up through the gate...


A VERY tight squeeze!!

Relying on the remote tractor to get through...

Keeping it on the driveway!
And then there were two!


Here comes number three!

Made it through that tight spot!!!
And now there are three!!!

Howdy!
And soon to be put all together...
Just had to see THE KITCHEN... yay!
