This is the kind of thing many people can only dream about.  I have seen Honey Bucket’s at fair grounds, Amos Lee concerts, and even dog parks, but now we have one in our driveway.  Wow, how exciting.  Not to mention convenient.  We don’t even have to bother going in the house now…  I can’t think of a better way to spend $500 friggin’ dollars.  What a waste.  Although, it is better than the alternative I suppose.  At least that is what I will keep telling myself.  If you find yourself in our neighborhood and you really have to go, fear not.  Now you don’t have to buy a $4 latte or a BigMac just to use the restroom.  You can use our Honey Bucket.  Just make sure you clean up after yourself when you’re done.

Last night, just before dinner, I looked out the window and asked Nichelle if she would watch Isla for a second.  ”The light is really nice right now.” I told her.  I threw on my shoes, grabbed a camera, and went out front to photograph the beautiful new green plastic toilet on our driveway.  I even moved around it for a few minutes trying different angles. ” This is what it has come to” I thought to myself.  After all the hard work these past 10 years, I am photographing a portable toilet.  Perfect.  My work here is done.

It’s been a pretty busy week, and I haven’t had as much time to blog as I had hoped.  There are a couple days worth of progress to share, and the next phase is the forms for the concrete foundation.  It’s really impressive how they can make the forms so precise.  It looks like a big mess at first glance, but when you get up close, you can see just how precise it is all put together.  Like a surgeon.  The light blue stuff you see on top of the gravel is insulation.  We are going to have concrete floors which will be created with the same pour as the foundation.  The concrete will be poured on top of the insulation which will keep the floor at room temperature, unlike a garage floor which can get pretty cold.

Tomorrow is the inspection, so hopefully everything checks out ok!  More soon.
