Cement!

The cement for the foundation has been poured as of today, so we were excited to take some more pictures at the site, and to upload an additional shot of the mold for the foundation being set in place. Its exciting too see the work progress a little, and to see the neighboring homes that are a bit ahead of ours, so we know what to expect as we move forward with the process.

The first picture shows the mold being set in place which happened late last Friday.

The cement was poured into the mold early this week which you can see in the picture below has dried. There are a number of vertical rebar pieces that protrue out from the foundation which are foreseeably there to attach the wood framing to the foundation securely. The strange white circular foundation piece is meant to butress the staircase which is located directly above (presumably).

We talked with the site manager, and have a walkthrough scheduled for May 24, which also coincides with the date that the "lumber is dropped".

The other exciting thing that we saw today was the length of the driveway, which is actually a bit longer that we had expected. It'll be nice to have extra room for visitors to park, as most of the driveways in the neighborhood are pretty short. We've tried to take a picture of the driveway next to our site number, but its kinda hard to see...
