Kaitlin, the new girl, joined us yesterday. She rolled in last night, along with Hank. She's the newest edition to the Bluff crew and she's awesome! It's great to have her with us! Especially for our full work day today. We nearly completed our tire retaining wall and the rest of our form work. We started dropping in the insulation for our freeze-protected shallow foundation. The insulation, which drops below the frost line, is supposed to prevent any frost from creeping up underneath the house. With all of our curved walls, the form work itself is pretty hot looking. Dennis the contractor keeps telling us he's never done anything like this before. Nothing a bunch of students without any real construction experience can't handle.



Group shot. Everyone appears to be working. Good job!

Looks like our work here is done.

Awww. What a cute couple.

Mocha. Who can resist this puppy face? Mocha's another awesome edition to the Bluff crew.

Matt really does work! (Sometimes.)

Hank's return to nature.

Wicked awesome form work.

Another gorgeous sunset! We can't get enough of these!
