Rosalee and I headed over to the house today to check out the progress. We have windows, and front doors. I was able to get into the house and take a look at the framing. Everything looks how it should – which is a good sign.

Take a look at the video.

This person will remain nameless – but our house was vandalized right beside the front doors to the house.

Research + Development? lol

Take a look at the evidence and judge for yourself.

That’s right!

Ever wonder what the purpose of system access fees (SAF) are? Have you ever asked? Well, a Saskatchewan lawyer has setup a Class action lawsuit, naming the Canadian cellular providers regarding the overcharging and misleading the companies have done to the consumer regarding the SAF’s.

Back in the early stages of cell phone history, the CRTC implemented SAF’s to helpp build the infrastructure. Now, it’s completely useless, and being charged to solely profit the corporations.

On September 17, 2007, a Saskatchewan court has approved the go-ahead with a class action lawsuit against Canadian cellular service providers.

It’s about time that the big corporations stopped taking advantage of the consumer!

If you have a cell phone – or had one – go and Join the class action.

Well, it’s about a week since the last visit to the house.

The update – we have a 3rd floor now, as well as the roof framing. I would imagine that within a week, we’ll have shingles, and they’ll be starting on the the brick shortly afterwards.

Below are 2 pictures of the house, and one picture of the brick and exterior colour selections that we made. What do you think of them?

Well, it looks like the house is going up fast. Within a week, they’ve done the framing on our ground floor (basement) and about half of our second floor (main floor). Where will we be in a week from now?

So, our foundation has been poured. They put in the wrong size window for our basement. We ordered a larger window because we’ll be setting up a studio for Rosalee down there, and we thought it would give more light, as well as more air.

When they poured the foundation, they put in the spacer for the regular window. So I set them straight. They backfilled in around the house, and then cut the concrete for the larger window. When I went back (3 days ago) to check on the house to see what they did, they had already installed the new window, and put down our ground level sub-flooring! That means that the rest of the house should go up fairly quickly.

We have a hole cut where our stairs will be that lead down to our basement. They didn’t pour the basement floor, right now it’s all just a bunch of rubble. I wonder when they pour that?

Here are some pictures… (My apologies for the poor quality. They were taken with my cell phone)
