...so does our house rise up out of the ground. ok that is a bit melodramatic, but in my about 2 minute research of the very reliable internet on the origin of that phrase, i have learned it is sometimes used to mean "learn from your mistakes" and "pick yourself up and dust yourself off and keep going". i could and might write a book on learning from your mistakes, and nobody has dusted themselves off more than chris. it also refers to ancient roman funeral pyres, but we aren't to that stage of the project. yet. i wouldn't totally count out the probability of us pushing something out into the middle of the pond and setting it on fire.
so we are finally coming OUT of the ground, instead of going into it. whoo hoo!
as i understand it, the block work is about half way done at this point. 
the continuous wall of block in the right corner, is the beginnings of where our bedroom will be. my mother told a dirty joke about hallways while she was inspecting this part of the house. if you know her, you probably know the joke. if you don't know her, well you are better off not knowing the joke.
a close up of the bedroom. and no, i am not telling the joke.
i am honestly flabbergasted that this piece of trash continues to remain on site. chris must have some sort of special plans for it later.
the littlest building inspector said it all looked good to her. she can't be trusted tho. she had a bag full of halloween candy and a pumpkin headed flashlight. so she probably wasn't totally on task.

How can I not remember the hallway joke? How? Mrs. Smith was never in a hallway. Please tell me this is not the one where she uses c u next Tuesday as a word that she finds to be socially acceptable.
