My lack of blogging is due to the new house that we are building. I am always so busy down at the new house that I haven't taken any pictures of it. But, I have taken pictures of the injuries sustained so far. We now have the footings and foundation done and these injuries took place the day we poured the foundation. I cut my hand open trying to cut re-bar, which it ended up looking pretty lame compared to the burns Tyler got during the cement pouring. We began pouring at about 5 in the afternoon and had a blowout in a corner, as it was getting dark on us also. Tyler had to stand in cement for a little too long and only had on jeans, shoes and socks; not rubber boots. The lime in the cement burnt him pretty badly in the hour time he was in it. These pictures show how it looks over the course of about 10 days. He got a staph infection in the worst ankle and had to be on antibiotics. He is still wrapping them and applying ointment every day. Yet, he has only ever complained once of any discomfort and that was from standing on them too long. Hopefully we don't have too many more of these things happen, or building our own home isn't going to save us much money.
