More Than Just Concrete

Most exciting part of my day? When we can see progress on the house from the street! Can you spot the gray foundation? This is when you have turned off the street and are just entering the property.

We pulled up today to see wood for the first set of beams and flooring supports on site. You can see me standing in the corner of the house there. You can also see our first {minor} setback if you look closely.

But first, those supports! Wood has never looked so beautiful. 

Our Footprint Has Started

This week our block got laid (lucky block - hahaha). Now that the footers are done, progress is really going to start moving forward quickly.

There are two crawl space entries. You can see one here. It will be under the master bathroom.

Standing in the Utility room looking into the garage.

It is really interesting to see all the pieces they are using to build the house and how much planning ahead must be done.

Here is the second crawl space opening on the back of the house, under the master bedroom, and I am pointing to the one you saw earlier.

"Standing" on the front porch looking into where our front door will be ish.

Living room, dining room and kitchen!

Not a lot to say yet, but soooooo excited to see more things going on every day.

Until our next update!

Toodles!

Footers Part Two and Three!

The footer trenches got filled with footer stuff, aka concrete, on Friday Jan 26th in the morning. By the time we both got off of work, we had to go check it out! The first couple of photos were Friday night when the concrete was still a bit soft and you couldn't walk on it yet. But every step of the way is progress closer and closer so we get excited for everything. 

The block for our foundation was also delivered this day.
