The House - Day 4



It is kind of blowing my mind how fast it is moving. They were putting in the re barb today to get ready to put the footings in (whatever that means ;-). The tractor is still there tearing up the solid rock we hit. It was not much but there was enough to add a days work to his docket. Terry (my builder and friend) is like, "I should have raised the house a foot," what a thought. Oh well, it is truly underway. We hope to have the footings in tomorrow and get approval from the city so the foundation can be laid.

They new house is only a few blocks from where I live now, so I get to walk by daily and check it out. I think I can actually hear the tractor pounding the rock from my office. I am sure my neighbors love me about now...just wait, it only get better I am sure ;-)
