We have now started on the top "belt." This is a rebar re-enforced concrete band that is poured on top of the load bearing walls to pull the structure together. The next steps are putting in the ceiling and then the roof. Together these make up the largest cost for building most homes. After this it is pretty much mostly concrete work and plumbing. I am going to do the wiring for the home and I have already purchased most of the materials. My current rental house has all of the electricity for the house running through one 15 amp breaker. I am currently getting this house house ready for our move in the near future. It is the renter's responsibility to bring their rental back up the same standard that it was before it was rented and I want to have a good testimony so it will be in much better shape when we leave. As for now, we still have a lot of work to do here before we turn the house back over to the owners.
Here is a Psalm that encourages us as our house & household grows:
Psalm 127
A song of ascents. Of Solomon. 1 Unless the LORD builds the house,
the builders labor in vain.
Unless the LORD watches over the city,
the guards stand watch in vain.
2 In vain you rise early
and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat—
for he grants sleep to those he loves.
3 Children are a heritage from the LORD,
offspring a reward from him.
