I'm clueless on this stuff, but why did you go with blocks instead of poured?

Great question. We definitely would have preferred to have poured foundation walls but only found a couple of places in our area that would do it. Oddly enough for this horrible economy they were too busy to get back with us. One of them I sat down with and reviewed our prints and expected to hear from within a few days for the estimate and eventually after calling for a couple of weeks with no response we gave up. So, the block guy was a friend of a co-worker and it worked out fine using him..

It looks great. I wish I put a storage area upstairs in mine.

My framing skills are a little rusty, we had off and on showers until about 2 and my whole family dropped by (I'll never complain about that) so we didn't get as much done as we had hoped, but any progress is good progress!

Dark enough to call it a night.
