Pilgrim's Progress

At last, current pictures of my home-in-the-desert project! Sorry for the delay but work on the project was–as they say–overcome by events for several weeks.

The masonry work is essentially complete. The columns are filled with concrete and steel, ready for the two containers to be set in place.

Next, the scary part. lifting the 5,000 lb containers onto the block columns, which will be done by crane.

P.S.
I've not read Pilgrim's Progress, but like John Wayne I've always liked the word pilgrim, perhaps because I once had a girlfriend named Fay Pilgrim. I wonder where she is now… After looking over the synopsis of Pilgrim's Progress on Wikipedia, I'm not likely ever to read it. If I'm in the mood for religious allegory, I'll re-read Herman Hesse's Siddhartha or watch The Poseidon Adventure (1972 version). Click here for analysis.
