We have footings!

It was a busy day out at the land! Todd was up bright and early to borrow a bobcat, so that he could pack in a little more dirt where the cement truck/pourer would be pouring the footings from. We didn't want them to get stuck, or think they might get stuck, because then they might have said they weren't going to do the job!! Burnco showed up at about 11:30, and they started to dump in the concrete. They were finished by around 1:00.




They had a little extra concrete left over, which they put in the garage area. They smoothed it out so that the boys could put their handprints in it (even though it will be covered over). Jacob did good, just placing his hand down nicely, but Josh went in up to his elbows!!!

Todd, myself, and the boys then headed out to UFA to pick up some pipe for the water line (from the property line to the house, 270 ft). Todd laid that and then started to backfill that part of the trench. He should hopefully get that finished up today. The foundation crew should be out to the land in the next few days to get the cribbing up, as they are hoping to pour the foundation walls early next week (keep your fingers crossed!!!). Maybe we'll be able to start building as early as next weekend!!!
