Framing began as scheduled.  The house a couple of doors down is now under roof.  We should be there by midweek.

This thing cant wait for its new home :-)

Wood has arrived

Right on schedule our lumber was delivered today  The slab has been laid.  I rolled by the lot at lunch just as the final stack of lumber had been loaded off the truck.  Our framing is set to begin tomorrow.  There was a crew preparing to start framing the house two doors down, well when we came by this evening this was the progress:

The basement and garage are prepped for the pour on Monday.

House Number and Rough-in In

Swung by today and noticed that they placed our house number on our black sheeting.  Our house number is 1802 which is odd.  There is one house to our left and no houses left of that for a long distance on the street.  The numbering is bond to confuse visitors for years to come.  The houses at the top of the street ascend in the 1900s.  Then all of a sudden about halfway down the street it changes to 1800 - odd numbers.  The house to our right is 1801 and to its right 1803, and then we are 1802.  I assume that the house on our left will be 1800.

Nonetheless our rough-in plumbing is in and we were able to get our sump pump located under our stairwell, so we can get the full use of one of our utility rooms in the basement; which will be our exercise room.

Lumber is set to be delivered next Friday.

Progress continues:-)

Footings in place

Boy do I like the sign of progress.  The footing was poured today.  We took the opportunity to write a few scriptures into the footing before the concrete sets.  We also met another neighbor whose home is about a week or so ahead of us.

We have a hole in the ground!!!

Finally...finally...finally this process has begun!  The rain held off and we finally have our very own hole in the ground.  We are supposed to have our schedule by Friday.

This is the view from front/left of the lot

The girls are standing where our deck will be

Tomorrow it all begins...finally!!

So the bulldozer from last week was not sitting on our lot because it was about to be put to use.  It actually broke down...lol!  Oh well, it provide us with a little bit of excitement for a day.  Nevertheless, I received a call from our PM today stating that ground breaking is set to occur tomorrow.  Though there are thunderstorms scheduled for tomorrow, clear skies are on tap for Thursday.  

This one better be ready to go come tomorrow morning! :-)
