By Sunday, the forms were laid out and the big tree chopped down that was right in the middle of the entry way.
Then the plumbers came in and did there thing, then it started raining in Abilene. Who woulda thought?! So...the foundation was delayed a couple of days, but when we got home this Friday from vacation (two weeks after signing) we have a foundation!! We pulled up right when they were finishing pouring it and there were 15 guys on the site all speading and smoothing, etc. It was so cool!
I think the framing will be done next week, so hopefully I'll have more exciting pics to come! This is so fun! So far, things have gone smoothly, the decisions have been fairly painless, and Scott and I haven't argued about any of it yet. (We kept hearing horror stories about how hard building is on your marriage. Eek!) We have picked windows, brick, stone, shingles, and exterior paint colors. So fun...and so much more to go!
