Construction Underway

Construction of Sampsa's home in Clyde is now underway with foundations being formed and poured. The salvaged tilt-slab panel that our Engineer, Paula, found was stood last week. It's great to have saved a great hunk of concrete from heading to the landfill. This panel is being used as a retaining wall on the lower level.
