Garage Beam and a Toilet

The view from the top of the dirt pile in the back yard today.

This is the giant 3-ply 24"x5.5" laminated beam that keeps us from having to have any columns inside the garage and gives us the playroom floor above.  They were about to cut it 20" too short, but luckily I was there and called them on it before-hand.  A good catch since it would have cost $700 to replace.

For perspective: it even looks huge next to my big melon.

But the most important development: the toilet was delivered!  It was dropped at the wrong house at first, but after a few phone calls it got moved over to our house.  Very exciting.
