Crane just backed in and you can see one of the trucks on the road

There's the Crane getting situated

Crane's got all his "feet" down and got the boom up

Another shot of the crane - that's the crane operator walking in front of it

Truck #1 - just pulled into the driveway next to the crane

The guys are down in "the hole" prepping for the walls

More prep work; me on the hill next to the truck on the Blackberry

The guy in the shirt is the saleman (David)

"Posing" by the walls

I've given the final OK so now the can start "setting walls"

This panel on the front of the house on the left hand side

They're getting ready to "pick" the first panel

First panel is "on the way"

Setting the panel in place

Getting the panel "plumb" and securing it

Panel's all secured getting ready for number 2

This is the panel on the left side wall towards the front of the house

When it is installed the house will have the front left corner

Hooking up the wall

Picked up off of the truck

On its way

It getting closer

Almost there

Setting the wall

Getting it set and bolting them together

First corner is complete - 11 more to go (yes 11)

This panel is the front of the house - it attaches to the left front corner panel

A couple of pictures of the panel being "picked" off of the truck

Off the truck and on its way

Its over the hole in the ground

.... almost there

All bolted up - 3 panels now installed

This panel is the second panel on the left side - the opening is the side entry door to the basement

Hooking up the panel

The panel coming off of the truck

On its way

Getting close

Just about there

Moving into the final place

Looks like there's a lot of guys standing around looking at this panel

And the reason is....

There's a problem with the panel and they can't get it installed plumb - they end up pulling it out and setting it in the front yard

This panel was pulled off and put in the "front yard" to install later

Since the issue with panel #6 they started with at a new location; this is the very back wall

This is the area beneath the sun room which will be seen when the sides are added

This panel was pulled off and put in the basement to install later

This panel is the left side of the wall underneath the Sun Room

This panel is the right side of the wall underneath the Sun Room

Not a lot of pics - it was lunch time

This panel is on the left side of the basement-Opening is the doors in the Man Cave

Based on the one wall not the correct size, the factory decided to re-do a total of 4 walls

So... Panels 11,9, 8 and 6 (which is laying in the front yard) will be loaded back on truck

New walls are being built and the new panels will be installed tomorrow

Day 1 finished with all but four panels installed (new ones being built)

Also the retaining wall was not installed

The crew left with the Crane still in place and the retaining wall still on the truck

These are a few pictures Mindy took from a good vantage point
