Good morning, all! The sun has come out! After days of promising sun, but delivering only fog, this morning we actually have blue skies. Cold, of course -- right at 0 C. But at this time of the year, I'll happily trade cold for sun.
To celebrate, fresh squeezed orange juice (a mix of California Navel and Moro Blood oranges), and a mug of Anniversary Breakfast Blend. |

I'll sing you this October song.
Oh, there is no song before it. The words and tune are none of my own for my joys and sorrows bore it. Beside the sea, The brambly briars in the still of evening. Birds fly out behind the sun and with them I'll be leavng. The fallen leaves that jewel the ground They know the art of dying. And leave with joy their glad gold hearts In the scarlet shadows lying. 9 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2l2pqWAfPOY ) Such wonderful music... Good morning, all! Chilly and damp, but a good morning to get things done! I have some Keemun tea and bacon and eggs to start the day, and I really want to thank the person who came up with this combination! Where is Peter Parker when you need him? Stitchawl |

What are you doing for a foundation? I have a feeling that basements aren't so common in your area. Will you use a cement slab or just pylons? Stitchawl |

We're not going to move in right after that. We're probably going to move to a cheap apartment very close by, so we have at least some comfort (like running water and electricity ) but we can still work in our house in the evenings. My father who build their current home himself (even the shell) told us it will take at least a year after the shell has been put up before the house is habitable. Because we can only work in the weekends and sometimes in the evening. We're not going to take time off from work to build, other than our annual vacation. But we'll see. Maybe we can move in faster. We knew it would be a long journey when we decided to buy the land, so it's okay. I think basements are pretty standard in Belgium, but we're not going to build one. It's ridiculously expensive, and because the groundwater in our area is pretty close to the surface we'd have to have a special kind of basement. We're just using the standard strip foundation. |

Some tiny bits of ice that used to be in water. Time for a refill.
