Framing, day 2

Ok so it is MY (Paul) turn to blog about the house... as you can see under the framed wall, we have exposed the 103 glorious cubic yards of steel reinforced concrete. If the foundation were poured with sugar cubes it would have taken 19,222,272 sugar cubes. If you were to take those sugar cubes and line them up in single file, they would go over 150 miles! Now thats a lot of hot cocoa. See those pecan trees to the left of the house? They have to go so we can install our sewer system :( I have yet to figure out the volume of the pecan trees in sugar cubes...sorry to disappoint.

Where can one buy a sugar cube? Do they still exist? (I mean real ones, not the ones used to make temple statues out of)
