UPSTAIRS?

WOW! It's pretty incredible how fast this house is going up. I guess our last house took about the same time and it went just as fast but I wasn't blogging about it, so I don't know........
Seems like we have a second story and it's staring to look like a house and now I can see how it all fits.......

STARTING TO LOOK LIKE..............

Our house, the last post was the statr of the walls being put up.

This post is just a quick update. More walls being put up.........just because I want to keep track of the speed this baby is going up...............

So here you have a few more pictures walls and the start of the second floor.

What is that in front of our house? Could it be?

We usually drive twice a day to check out the house before and after school, so this is our drive around in the afternoon........
Do you see, wha I see? WALLS? We were pretty surprised to see this when we drove by........
Just another view.
Check back soon, I think it's gonna go fast from now on....................

IS IT DRY?

Just a quick post, the concrete founation was poured a few days ago and as you can tell by now we visit the lot/house pretty often and now..............

IT'S DRY

Like I said this was just a quick post, nothing else to say for now..........
Come back soon, ok?

IT'S POURING...............CONCRETE

Yep they have finally started poring the concrete, it took a few days because we had some rain and they had to wait, but here they are pouring concrete, making sure it's level etc.


Not too many pictures here (I mean how many pictures can you take of the concrete and workers, right?), besides I didn't want to make them uncomfortable snapping pictures......

Well that's all for now.............Check back soon for more updates.

PREPPING FOR CONCRETE

Like I said in my last post we should have a pretty consistent stream from now on , these pictures show the preparations to pour the concrete foundations (hurray!)
I am starting to see how the house is going to fit here, even without the walls.

See back there no more dirt, they have placed the plastic barrier and are ready to pour the concrete.
A close-up of our entryway.

NOTE ADDED: Here we discovered that the front of the house would be a little different that what we thought (we had a misunderstanding with our sales agent, went to talk to her and got it cleared) and although it's different than what we thought (no little porch) I really think we are going to like it...................

Close up of what will eventually be the entrance and "formal" living room area. HMMMMM I think we are going to need more furniture...............

Well stay tuned (the next post "should" be a CONCRETE one................

CLEARING A SPOT

Ok so there is a gap (of about 1 month) between my last post and this one and no I didn't forget I had this blog .............this is about the amount of time they had told us it would take before anything would happen (they need to file permits and such and well that takes time).

In this next set of pictures you can see they have cleared our lot and put up the footing to pour the foundation:

This picture was taken from the side looking towards our street.....

Gravel put in for the trucks to back up

This is taken from the back looking out at our street, see the pipes for (kitchen?)
Man I keep telling Rob I just don't see how our house is going to fit here ......I have no perception without walls...................

Stay tuned now things should keep moving and we should have changes posted pretty often.

See ya later.
