Construction Zone!!!

Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous outside so I decided to take a ride out to see my home. When I got there the plumbers were working so I stayed on the street and just looked in. I really wanted to walk in the house and look around but I knew I couldn't and besides on Monday we will have our pre drywall meeting so I'll get to walk through the house at that time.


The roof is now on

I've got hay...I guess for landscaping

As you can see they are pretty busy working on our neighbors homes! It is very exciting seeing them break ground, pour foundation and start framing the homes around us. I hope they are close to being completed by the time we move in. 

Very exciting! Can't wait for Monday!

Breaking Ground and Pouring Foundation

It's hard for us to take a daily visit to see everything that goes on because we are a little over an hour away. Our SR does an awesome job of making sure we are up to date on the progress of the house by sending us pictures of the process. 

We officially broke ground on January 16, 2013. Here is a picture of that:

Seems so small :-/ but I know once the framing is put up it will look bigger. 

The foundation was poured on January 21st. Here are some photos of that:

So far we have been lucky enough to have been able to see these two occasions in person. Ground breaking day we were both off of work so we drove up there and saw the guy on his little machine thing digging our dirt. On the day they poured the foundation I was also off from work because it was MLK day so I drove up with my mom and we saw the finished product. I even met a neighbor of mine! How exciting :-)

In the next couple of days comes the framing. My SR told us that framing happens really quickly and I know I won't be able to see it all in person. Luckily he will keep us in the loop with pictures. That is very nice of him to do and we appreciate it.
