Man they are fast

It has been a busy week for me and with the house.  We have been busy this week with not only our normal everyday things, but we are having our church gospel meeting with youth activities during the day so we have been doing all that during the day and either working or going to church at night.  Today was the really the first time I have been able to go check out the house stuff this week and they are fast!  So far, they started with the footers Monday...

LOTS of cement.  In fact and cement truck got stuck in the off to the side where he had pushed some dirt over and had to call in the big guns...

Anyway, here they are pouring the cement


The guy in the shorts is Mark our leader.  He was out there ALL day with them from 7:00 am till dark and he was out there all day the next day and the next!  What a great guy he is.

I didn't get out there to take pictures of just the stem wall, which they did yesterday, but you can see them here and these pictures are kinda boring anyway.  They did the plumbing today.

So now it just looks like a concrete box sticking out of the ground and pipes through out.


Then I sat out on our porch and took in the air and view.  I can't wait!

The "porch" where I rested on for a while.

What's next?  Heat and air tomorrow, inspections, then sand (which you can kinda see a pile in the back of this picture), then they will pour the slab.
