Digging deeper - Mélyebbre ásunk



It's been a while since I last posted something on the blog, but life hasn't stopped and I need to catch up :-) So what's going on now? We have a big hole just in front of our motorhome! Our dream home is starting to take shape...well, at least we can see where it's going to be :-) The initial excavation started just before we left for our regular end-of-August visit with Wayne's parents up in Cupertino. We (the girls of course) felt like Rapunzel being "rescued" by prince Charming:)) Instead of letting our hair down though, Dave, our contractor helped us down on a ladder - into the big hole and out on the street...because there was no more "front yard" in front of the motor home...just the huge hole -  where our house is going to be:-)
Coming back after a week, we found an even bigger and deeper hole. Man, it is scary! :) Basically, the entire lot is a big hole:) The only way we can get to the motor home now is going around on a narrow pathway. Good thing we're not afraid of height :)
Dave and his crew has finished the excavation and now we're ready for the next step: foundation...making good progress!

Elég régen irtam a blogra,de az élet azóta sem állt meg, igy ideje, hogy beszámoljak az újabb fejleményekről. Szóval mi is történik mostanában?  Egy jókora gödör tátong a lakókocsi előtt. Az álom ház kezd alakulni...legalábbis látjuk, hol lesz az alap:) Pont a szokásos augusztusi cupertino-i látogatásunk előtti napon kezdődtek a munkák. Úgy éreztük magunkat (mi, lányok, természetesen) mint Rapunzel, akit éppen megment a herceg...:) Csak épp a hajunk leengedése helyett egy létrát engedett le Dave, hogy lemászhassunk rajta a nagy gödörbe, majd ki az utcára a másik oldalon. Ugyanis a lakókocsi előtt már nem volt semmi, csak egy hatalmas lyuk...
Egy héttel később, amikor hazaérkeztünk, még nagyobb és még mélyebb gödör fogadott minket. Mondhatom, elég ijesztő! :) Gyakorlatilag az egész telek egy nagy gödör...A lakókocsiba csak egy keskeny ösvényen juthatunk be a gödör szélén. Még szerencse, hogy nincs tériszonyunk:) Dave és a csapata befejezte az alap ásást, és most következhet az alapozás!

Shoring and the hole, where "Rapunzel" had to climb down on a ladder:) - Támfalazás, és a gödör,ahova Rapunzelnek le kellett másznia:)


Digging deeper- mélyebbre ásunk


The excavation is done - az alap ásás kész

Doesn't it look like an archeological site? - Nem úgy néz ki, mint egy régészeti feltárás?

Making progress

So we met this contractor last Saturday, but before that we had a fun adventure. As we were dropping off Easter Service invitation fliers of our church at the neighborhood, we came across a nice house with a few features that we plan to have. So Wayne rang and a lady answered the door. It turned out that they were Christians too. We made a compliment about their nice house, adding that we were planning to remodel our house too and we liked the features of theirs. The lady was like, oh my husband is a contractor and actually he's done all the work on our house. They even invited us in and showed us around...the icing on the cake was that it turned out that the husband was Croatian (I could tell he had some European accent:) and after I mentioned that we were from Hungary, he said 'oh, then we're neighbors' . I like these little “adventures” or coincidences, I know there are no coincidences though. Anyway, back to our meeting with the contractor. I can tell that it wa...

Still alive and kicking:) Még élünk és virulunk:)

The living room is Noemi's "ballrom" now:) - a nappali most éppen Noémi bálterme:) master bath Master bedroom...who is that ballerina? :) Szülői háló, és Noémi "balerina" :) tiling is done in the kitchen - burkolás kész a konyhában It's been more than a year since my last post....my bad:) Well, seems that our project is getting closer to the finish line...Thanks to my in-laws' generosity, we can keep going. Noemi's bedroom is done, so she could move in, too. Flooring and tiling is done throughout the house, now we're working on the details. Final plumbing, getting appliances, shopping for bathroom vanities etc. I can't wait for shopping for furniture and accessories...Hopefully soon:) Több mint egy éve irtam utoljára...az én hibám:) De úgy tűnik, közeledünk a célhoz. Köszönhetően a család segitségének, előre tudunk lépni ismét. Elkészült Noémi szobája, igy ő is beköltözhetett. A burkolás, csempézés kész, most már a rész...
