Footings and Foundations

Our Footings went in on Friday and our Foundation is being framed up today. They will pour the walls tomorrow and then take the forms off on Wednesday.

It is really cool to watch this all take place. All of the guys we've talked to that are working on this project are really nice guys.

Beginnings of a Home

Well, as promised, here are pictures of the start of our new house. I can't believe how fast they have been moving this week. They measured and staked the lot on Tuesday. They began digging the hole on Wednesday and finished on Thursday morning. Then on Thursday afternoon they started putting up the forms for the footings and if our luck holds out they will pour the footings on Friday. I truly hope that things continue to move like this. I know there will be days that it moves slowly, but I can't wait to get into this new home. I feel like a kid before Christmas. . .

Here they are measuring and staking the lot.
