Footer frame in place

This morning the footer frame was put in, and we received some infamous construction worker trash, yes! When we walked back there we heard them say "here comes the kids." haha

Snapped a few pictures and this will be inspected tomorrow and then poured on Wednesday. We will also be picking out the exterior siding cover, window trim color, and front door on Wednesday.

Hole for the foundaton is dug!

The hole was dug over this weekend (April 5-6) where the foundation will lay. We even have up some black mesh construction area flagging around the site, its really happening! Tomorrow BVB is coming over with the cement guy, I guess they will get ready to and pour the footers and let them set over the first few days of this week and then the foundation will be poured!

Here are some pictures of the work/celebration from breaking ground this weekend.

Day 1 of construction!

Well today was the first day of actual work for the house!! A machine came in to scrape the top soil off, Larry and I set the markers for exactly where we wanted the house and that was that. Tomorrow or Saturday they will dig for the foundation and I believe our first footer inspection is set for next Tuesday so it should really start moving along now. The only thing that will hold us up at all will be rain.

There are some nice piles of dirt I'd like to use for the track... I am told they may need them to make our yard though :)




Oh yea, Snaps and I dug the first hole last night before it got dark haha

Can't forget about the porta potty..
