The foundation crew was out finishing up the cribbing until about noon today. They have ordered concrete for Monday, but Burnco said they might not be able to get to it until Tuesday (Monday's are busy days as alot of basements get finished up over the weekend). It certainly is exciting to see the house take shape. If the walls get poured Monday, then we should be able to start putting up the floor system Tuesday afternoon, or Wednesday morning at the latest. The concrete needs to sit for about a day before the cribbing can be removed. The floor system should hopefully only take a day to put in. It requires putting in the support beams, laying the floor joists over that, and then glueing/nailing the subfloor on top of that. If anyone is around to help, that would be great. Check back on Monday night to see if we have the concrete poured or not. That will determine when we can start.
Todd, Jacob, Josh and I kept working on some walls today. I think we have a total of 6 built now. The boys spent about 3 hours out at the lot today, helping pound nails, carrying lumber, picking up garbage, and of course, playing on the dirt. It was a beautiful day. The weather was great. I think it is supposed to be windy again tomorrow though.

Nice to see some actual structure rather than a hole. Things are looking good.
And sounds like you guys are putting in a lot of work...sounds like progress is going so well you won't need any help. Just kidding...let me know when you need the help.
Wow! I haven't checked out the site in a few days or so. It is nice to see somethings happening. It is sure lucky you guys have dads that can help you out like that. Jacob and Josh look like they are enjoying the new lot. You were asking about things people like in their kitchens. We have a big pantry with a shelving unit in the middle that opens like a door. It is awesome. Definately something I would want again. One thing I hate about my sinks is I have one full sink and then a half sink. Never again! There isn't enough room for anything. Two full sinks is the way to go!
Anyways I guess I have added my two cents so have fun!

Thanks for the input Teri! We definitely appreciate it. Right now we have a pantry that opens with two doors, but I might change it to a corner pantry.
