Yesterday morning (Tuesday) I stopped by the land to see what progress had been made on the foundation work. This was the first time that I've seen a crew working on site (other than the times we've been out there working). It looked like someone was building a house. Oh wait...that's us! We're building a house!
It was about 9:30 a.m. and the guys had already made a lot of progress. One of the coolest things for me to see was the string marking the height of the foundation (and where our porch will be).
The guys worked in teams to get the brick stacked around the site.
This afternoon (Wednesday, around 3:45 p.m.) we drove out to see how much had been done in a day. Here are the bricks...Ashley is a little concerned that they're pinker than he wanted. I think they're fine. And like I said, there's no going back on this decision!
We have foundation walls!!
Here is the view from the front of the house. Another thing we're a little worried about is how high the house may seem from down the hill. Ashley is already thinking about how he will backfill dirt and landscape to make sure you aren't overwhelmed by a brick foundation when you drive up.
This is the view from the back of the house-- master bath on the left.
This is a short week because of Thanksgiving--but we're really pleased how far the house has come. We have a lot to be thankful for this holiday season!
