the walls did NOT come crumblin' crumblin'

Somehow, amidst all the rain we've had, we managed to get our basement walls poured before everything caved in.











I know this doesn't look much different than when the forms were just sitting here, but hey...it's progress.

Today they removed the forms and we have actual walls.

Amazing how they can take the forms off and real bricks magically appear.

Who knows how bricks lurk in the form of...forms?



The shadow knows...










This is my domain.  For I am...Phil-zan...



Jane?




There's a car parked on the wall!




Philly says the place looks huge.  I think it looks tiny and I'm already asking when we can build an addition.



In case you didn't believe me about the rain, here's what my Sketchers looked like after tromping about taking pictures.

Yes, I'm really that white. 

Thank God I shaved recently.



In other news, we had dinner.  The chicken thighs aren't worth mentioning, but I did re-heat some leftover Brown Sugar Carrots.  How come they taste so good?  I said yeah...I said yeah...I said yeah...whooo!


Actually, they weren't that great reheated.

Andi: "Why does a reheated baby carrot look like a geriatric Oompa-Loompa penis?  (Am I allowed to say "penis" here?)

Philly:  "You've seen a geriatric Oompa-Loompa penis before?"

Andi:  "Well, no...I guess that's just how I'd picture one."

Philly: "You've pictured one before?"

Andi:  {blink}

  2. The place DOES look huge! I am always surprised during the building process how different things look than when the walls are in. Looks like you are still pretty muddy there, but I am glad they got the walls up before it caved in! Bleh! That would have been horrible!

    Hahahahahhaahaha!!!

    It's so weird how it goes from looking huge to looking tiny to looking too big to looking too small. It rained constantly on us too, but as far as I know the place is still standing!

  4. What are you doing, building a castle? It looks huge!!!! :) I hate when I get mud on my shoes like that... I think the last time that happened was when I had to catch Autumn after she ran onto a muddy ball field. It was l.o.v.e.l.y.

    but, when our forms came off i thought it looked huge. then the walls went up and it felt small, then big then small, then big, and now it's still big!

  7. This is why I love your blog! Your sense of humor! I remember when we had our basement first built before the house went up. I couldn't imagine how our rooms were going to fit over what seemed such a tiny hole! Couldn't believe it was the same basement after the walls went up!

  8. I was thinking it looked like a freakin castle too!! And I have to say I'm with Phil on the wondering why you've been picturing geriatric penises. Too funny! AND...I have a crush on Mellencamp.
