Day 2

Two days of work on our house-Yay!

Yesterday afternoon they poured the footings & when I drove by around lunch today I was able to walk around. My first thought was, "How in the world will the dining table we want fit in this tiny room?!?!" Yes, yes, I know that it won't feel tiny when the walls are up; but the 2-D representation on the ground doesn't really do it justice.

By the time Shane & I drove by this evening they had put up some of the concrete forms for the stem walls. The weathermen are projecting some damp weather in the next few days, but we are still hoping to get the foundation poured by the new year.

I'm sure it will feel closer to the correct size when we get to see the solid foundation instead of just the outline. Here's Shane standing in our future hearth room.
