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.

Here is a picture of our lot.  I put some red lines on it so you can kind of see the size of the lot.  The lot size is .29.  It is much longer than it is wide.  I would imagine that the house foot print will take up most of the width of the lot, but we should have a nice sized back yard.  Still waiting for those permits and then we can post a pic of the hole they dig! And what an amazing view huh!

Here are some updated floor plans to take a look at. These aren’t the construction ones, these are the ones that the Home Center creates to send to the Architech to create the final plans.

Our permits have been officially been submitted to the city of Lindon. After finalizing the plans they submitted our permits to the city for approval. They are estimating them to come back around 8/27, but that is a worse case scenerio. We are hopeful that they will come back sooner, but we won’t get our hopes up. After they get the permits back we should have a hole in the ground within a few days.
