1 Mary Lou and John's "play" house. I wonder if Barbie and Ken had a straw house?	2 The pouring of the slab - panic sets in!	3 The pour is done and we find out the truck driver really isn't all that skilled. More panic sets in!	4 The pour is being finished - yet more panic! (it pissed rain around 1am - ugh!)	5 Our maple tree is being raised - about 3 years after it was sawed down.
6 The tree as seen downstairs - it will form the newel post of the stairs.	7 The tree as seen upstairs - it will be at the end of the hallway. Our garage (a.k.a. "coach house") is seen in the background.	8 Home sweet home!
