I am learning so much about building a house. I can't stay away from the lot, and have to stop by every day in case I miss something.
I think the forms for the poured walls are next. I'm not sure if they will do these tomorrow or wait until Mon. I hope we have good weather next week for pouring concrete.
Wed. I stopped by and the footings were poured. They kind of outline the house in the basement, and also outline the garage and porches. This is what the poured walls rest on, the framework for the garage, and where the porch flatwork will be. There is some concrete in the middle of the basement floor. I checked the plans and this is for the piers that help hold up the floor. Wet concrete is so tempting. I guess it would have been no big deal for me to put my name in it.
On Thurs. when I stopped by after work, gravel had been spread throughout the basement.I think the forms for the poured walls are next. I'm not sure if they will do these tomorrow or wait until Mon. I hope we have good weather next week for pouring concrete.
This is where the basement stairs are going to be.
I think these 2 circular things have something to do w/ the sewer. I think we are putting in a toilet rough-in in this area of the basement. I think the sump pump is also going in this area.

I probably won't stop tomorrow night, so I can get home to get costumes on. I think trick or treating starts at 5. I'll post some pics of the fall fairy and the witch. Don't get a belly ache "goblin" up your candy!!
