We met one of our soon-to-be new neighbors this weekend! His name is Ron and he seems like he is in (my husbands's) age group. It will be nice to have a bunch of young families to share lots of block parties with!
Our hole has now turned into a contrete box in the ground! Even with all this rain, they were able to put the footers in, and pour the concrete. I was a little concerned that they were pouring the foundation in the rain, but they assured me about ten times that because they put the footers in on a dry day, that the foundation could be poured with no ramifications in the rain. That satisfied me - especially because everything I read says that the footers are the important part, because those are the "building blocks," for everything else.
We've been told that not much will be happening this week - not surprising since we are supposed to have thunderstorms for three straight days, but the real reason not much will happen is because they need to let the foundation settle for a week. I am hoping that this week all the rain will get out of the system we seem to be stuck in, and we'll have bright, sunny, warm weather next week when they frame the house.
I'm so excited to actually see the house all framed. It will make me feel like I actually have a house!!! Wish I had more to update, but hopefully next week will be full of new posts every day!
