Slabs Poured and a Special Delivery!

Went by the house yesterday to find that slabs have been poured in the driveway and basement.  We also arrived to see our windows, sliding glass doors, stairs, and exterior doors sitting on the lot next door.

We were kinda bummed because our PM told us that lumber would be there and they would start framing on Wednesday (today).  Clearly, there was no lumber.  Yet, just as we were getting into the car, look what we saw!

Our lumber! Yay!  It was delivered just like the PM said!  Hopefully we can get back to the house today to see some framing action!

Footers, Plumbing, and Foundation

The last two weeks have been a little slow, but we are able to find patience in knowing that the foundations of our home are quite important to get 'just right'.

On Thursday, November 8th we stopped by to see the beginnings of laying down the footers for our home.

We went back by the house again on Friday to see the finalization of the footers, gravel fill, and a drainage pipe around the exterior perimeter of where the foundation will be.

 

This past week some rain delayed the start of our foundation being poured, but after our weekly contact with the project manager on Friday, we were reassured that everything is right on track.  Our foundation is poured and we should expect slabs, inspection, and lumber deliver early this week.  Hopefully by Wednesday they will start framing!

We Have a Hole!

At our pre-construction meeting last week, our project manager told us they would break ground on Tuesday.  Well, that was yesterday and it didn't happen.  So, needless to say, we were disappointed when we drove by the lot to see that nothing had changed.

Early this morning Drew sent a text to our PM asking if they would begin digging this week, and the PM replied that they were currently digging!  Yay!!!  I have never been so excited about a hole!  Here are some pictures of our hole.  Footers will be poured tomorrow! :)
