March 6, 1998. The weather has been bad but a little better than January. Of course El Nino is still not done with its magic so things could get bad again. The walkout basement and first floor walls (studs) are finally up. Image #1 shows the back of the house looking south west. The backfilling around the house is done and the basement and garage floors are poured. Image #2 is the back of the house looking south east. Image #3 is looking north out of the kitchen eating area thru what will be the "bay window/door" exit to the deck. That is Kings Mountain in the background.
