We skip driving by the lot for one day (the calendar showed work on Monday) and look what we find! More foundation prepwork. Two friends went to meet us at the site to see the (previous) progress and we were surprised to see so much had happened over the weekend. We can see clearly where the structural load is. It's become even easier to see the layout of the first floor and garage. Of course, all I mainly see is tons of rebar / metal. Talk about getting your heart rate going!
We've put in a request to meet the structural engineer out at the site when inspection is done. We're pleasantly surprised overall at the height of the foundation. We've had concerns about the home looking squatty next to the neighbor's but with 12 foot ceilings and the foundation height we should be fine. They layout and use of the property is what we were looking for.
We are hoping for good weather during the pour. We have chosen stained polished concrete for the first level and it is best if there is no rain on the slab after pouring. Of course most days this week have forecasted 30% chance of rain or more. Lucky us.
Finally to really prove to us that they are going to build this house, the obligatory port-a-potty arrived. :-)
