Excavation over!! Footings In!! Foundation in Progress!! YAAAAYYY!!!

At long last we got the call we were waiting for...after soil tests, soil dumping, new structural soil brought in, packed down, flattened out...we finally have the 'green light' from the geologist to move forward!  

From the road...trailers with 'stuff' for foundation
building on our lot...what a lovely sight!

And that we have done!

Our footings were poured last week and this week the foundation has begun.

these are footings for the retaining wall

Basement layout can be deciphered here...
guest bedroom to the left (pokes out)
Imagine yourself here...

with this view!!

Mike walked over these beams to have a look around....
I wanted to join him but couldn't brave the wobbly boards!

Driveway & Garage...we aren't sure how this will work 
out but feeling confident that our builder is...

View from the street 

Our neighbors house...similar look ...we like it!
