Rough grading complete and inside prepped for concrete vb & rebar, and the OH door. Those winds had me nervous, but she did fine.

I think 1 more load of dirt will take care of the area between barn porch and driveway, as it created a little bowl. Had some left over stone so a half ass approach was made.

I'm very glad I did the upper windows, but have had 3 bird casualties so far with that front door open, lol. The sliding back door and windows on the W produce great airflow. You could hear it singing thru the vented overhang too during the wind. Condensation and stale air was a major concern I had, not any longer.

Looks awesome Adam, I am curious what you did a sliding door on one end. I thought about, because it was a way cheaper, but I was too far along when I added the third door. Are they doing a turn down slab with a footing or just a floating slab?

Its stone in the back, only the front 25' is crete.

Reason for sliding door is primary use for its early years will be animals and equipment in and out, more door for the $ now, didn't want low hanging door tracks, not going to insulate any time soon.

This type of work is completely unacceptable. Slab looks great, but wall splatter the entire length, with some on window at chest height. They cut it yesterday, so I just went in this AM to take a peak.

Professional nasty gram and pictures sent to the builder this AM, I'll be letting mud foreman know this shit is unacceptable and they better put up plastic today to protect the outside metal while pouring the porch. Really hope the builder plays nice, as I'm not aware of any solution to use to remove, outside of a wire wheel which will remove the paint/destroy the wainscoting.
