We are just moving right along now. Yesterday they put up the frames for the foundation and poured the cement. I would assume that they will be doing little things for the next few days while they watch this cement dry.

The house is moving now. Today they did the foundation footings. As you can see the hole they dug was plenty big for the size of the foundation they are putting down. They started bright and early this morning. The top picture is of them working on the footings this morning. We had a pre-construction meeting with the construction manager today at 11am. They talked to us about expectations and dates. We should be getting our final dates soon. They say roughly 3 months of construction, so we should be looking at the end of November, early December as a finish date. But of course I will update you with the tentative finish date as soon as I get it. The bottom pictures are of when we went back tonight after the rain storm. They had taken off the pieces that hold the concrete in place. I’m not sure how long it has to dry but according to our schedule they should be putting up the foundation walls tomorrow.

Today was the day! They finally started to build our dream house. The picture on the top is what they did on Friday. They spray painted the footprint of where they needed to dig. And then the picture in the middle is what they did today. The pictures are a little deceiving. It kind of looks like the foot print takes up most of the lot, and it does take up a good portion but there is plenty of yard to go around. We will have very little space on the sides and a fairly small front yard, but the backyard should be good sized. Which honestly, that is where I would rather the space be. The bottom picture is of Tyler standing in the hole tonight. We were hoping for a good sized crawl space but it appears that it will only be about 3-4 ft deep. Still big enough to throw the Christmas decorations into.
