Tower SIPs are on

We finished the tower SIPs, and the house is starting to take form. I took this picture from the other side of a pond that I built before I even started on the house. (I wanted to know whether it would hold water before I placed the house smack dab behind it on the hill!) My friend helped me build this pond - not counting the spillway, it took us 3 days - he was on the bulldozer and I was on the backhoe. I have some pictures of the pond construction process that I'll blog when I get a little more caught up on the house. Rain is forecast for today, so this morning, we'll try and tarp what needs to stay dry.
