Foundation forms.

Thursday we saw the footings were poured, and had a feeling that the forms would be removed on Friday. The wife and I wanted to see what else might be happening, so we rode over after work. When we got there we saw a guy down in the hole doing something. Not wanting to be in the way we just drove by, and decided to come back later. We also stopped into the model to say high to the sales rep. We chatted for a while about how many homesites were left and how things were going. This development is selling out quick. Once we left we took a quick spin past the lot and saw what looked like the guys getting ready to set the foundation forms.

A few hours pass, me and the misses decide to hit the diner for dinner and then ride by one more time. By this time we figured the workers would be gone, so we could get a closer look. Of course they were, but they did make some progress. As we pull up we can see some of the forms are set in place, so of course we're super excited. They didn't get all of them in, but then again we weren't really expecting any of this until Monday. Can't wait to see what they have done Monday afternoon. It's kind of crazy that I find myself actually looking forward to Mondays, I guess this building process will do that. Here are a couple of pics of the progress.

In this one you can see our neighbor Frank's house across the street getting siding installed. Those guys were working until about 8pm.


This one is from the top of a pile of fill dirt that's been in the back corner of our lot, so it's compacted and easy to climb. I really like this vantage point, and hope they keep the pile there long enough to get a couple of pics of the poured foundation.

    It's going to fly for you guys now. The progress is crazy already! I'm hoping I don't lose my mind by next week. It has seriously been the longest two weeks of my life. Lol.

    1. Bridget,
      I know how you feel. We were driving over everyday after our pre-con in the hopes they might start early. Hang in there, because once it comes things really move. Except on the weekends. Is it Monday yet?
