Week 2

Well it feels like we have had our beloved "hole" for about a month now.  We have had much fun playing in it.  But...its time to move on! 

Day 7

Bright and early American Tree Service arrives to prep the trees on the East side of our driveway for our new electric poles and line. 

Throughout the day the trucks and basement equipment started to arrive.

Day 8

Its official! Our very own Building permit!

Digging the footings

Day 9

Thinks got started pretty early this morning.  Everyone was up and at it by 7:30 am.  Mr. Larry our contractor and Patrick discussing the progress and plans.

 

By lunch the cement truck had already come to pour the footings. Looking good!

The dirt walls have been "wrapped" for protection because it rained today and drainage pipes are in place and covered c gravel. 

I think the plan tomorrow is to put up the forms for the basement walls.  Its funny how at each step you get so involved and focused on whats happening now, then you look around and realize there are a whole lot of things to come to make this a home!  Every day is something new and I love watching the progress!  Hope you do too!
