Window Wells and Moisture Barrier

Today our beautiful grey foundation walls got sprayed sticky black to get ready to be buried in dirt. We also got window wells and the curb and gutter was cut.

I can see the Basement!

This is Anya standing in her new future bedroom in the basement (when we finish the basement--hopefully next year.)

Not only do we have basement walls, but we have windows and a new address. We just happened to be visiting the construction site when they painted it on.

We have foundation walls!

I am amazed at how quickly you can build a house. This morning, we drove by the house to see a crew setting the forms for the foundation walls. A few hours I drove by to find a cement pump truck and a crew POURING the walls!

The Footings are in

We have a basement foundation! Basement walls will be coming next week.

WOW! that hole is deep!

So we stopped by and found our hole completely dug. We couldn't resist climbing down in to inspect the work and scaling the MOUNTAIN of dirt that came out of our hole. Grandpa Lundgreen said that he watched them fill a whole dumptruck full of dirt and take it away.

It's finally begun

We are the proud owners of a big hole and a pile of dirt. This is one of the happiest days of my life!

We have a Backhoe!

So we didn't get a hole today--not sure why, but we did get a BACKHOE at about 3 o'clock today. I think we'll have a hole tomorrow!
