The Basement is Taking Shape!

Our weekly trip out to the new house wasn't a disappointment.  They have been laying block this week despite the rain we've had and they've gotten a lot done!  We were actually surprised to see how much they had completed since we've had rain almost every day this week.  We are so excited to see things taking shape.  Here are some of the pictures from the house.

This is at the back right corner of the house looking toward the front.

This is down at the basement level looking up toward the garage.

Another shot from the top near the garage looking down.

That's a long way down...

My lovies...Sara was not very excited to head out there this week.  With the weather turning nice, she likes to spend her time outside playing.  But we got her out there by letting her play with Daddy's cell phone.  I think she's like me - she'll be more excited when the framing starts :-)

Footings Poured!

We drove out to the lot yesterday afternoon and they have poured the footings for the house.  I was hoping to see some block laid, but none yet.  As usual, I had problems visualizing the house layout and I was panicking that the house looked far smaller than we had planned.  I personally think it would be best if I just stay away from the lot until it's framed and there's a roof.  Brian would probably like that too ;-)  I'm certain he's tired of explaining everything to me.

Sara had to check out the block and get her picture taken.
