Who's got footings? We've got footings! Oh, yeah, the concrete workers poured those babies today, so now the "house" (can one call it that at this stage?) looks more like this:
Eric and Evan went out to check out the lot after Evan's last session of junior golf this morning. They happened to arrive while the workers were on a break, waiting for more concrete to arrive. So the boys were able to pop down to see the footings up close without disturbing any work.
Evan is standing at the back corner of the house in the above photo. You can see the stake next to him that marks approximately where the house will end.
I took the kids out later in the day, after working in my classroom for a few hours. The workers had left which gave us a really clear view of how the house will sit on the footings.
The bumped out area you see in the forefront will be the office. To the left of that is the front door/foyer. The front porch will be directly in front of them, spanning the width of the front of the house. This is feeling more real every day and our excitement builds with each new stage of progress.
Now that the footings have been poured, they have to sit and dry. We expect the foundation walls to be poured in the next day or two.
