We have been very anxiously awaiting the beginning of our house. We drove by countless times to see nothing happening! According to our builder we should have had the framers out at the end of last week, which certainly isn't the case and we are so OK with that!! We still have a house to sell before we can really focus on the new one so the delay in starting is just fine with us, it gives us more time to get this house sold.
When we went by last week (3-1) they had started marking off our lot with stakes (painted with orange tops if you can see them).
We went next on Sunday 3-4 and saw that they had excavated the lot and prepped it for our foundation!!
When we went back a couple days later (3-6) they had put the wood frame out for the outside of the foundation and had poured the concrete.
After gymnastics today we went by again and found this!!! They had removed the wood frames and back filled the inside. Based on another house we are watching in the same development I am guessing that by the time we go back this weekend, we will see the entire foundation poured!!!
Can you tell the kids are excited?!?! They are having so much fun watching the process!!
An added bonus: I have had many opportunities to teach the kids the importance of getting the foundation right, of building on a strong foundation and have taken each of those teaching moments to expand and explain how that relates to life. I have been so blessed to focus so much on teaching the kids about building their lives on a firm foundation in the Gospel and have been able to show them with a giant real life object lesson!!! It has been so great for me and hopefully they are learning too!!
