August 26th

Happy Birthday to me!  Friday they finished laying down the radiant heating hoses.  Monday they get inspected and Tuesday they pour the concrete.  Things just keep moving along.

 Some rock for the outside of the house that I looked at yesterday and a couple tubs I liked that I looked at on Tuesday.  Only to find out that it's cheaper to frame in the tub... so we'll see what I end up doing.

August 24th & 25th

 They fixed the plumbing in the basement laundry room and were then able to spread dirt and gravel around the footings and pack it down.

 Thursday we stopped by to find that they had started to lay the radiant heat pipes!  They will hopefully finish tomorrow so they can pour the concrete on Monday or Tuesday, but where it's been so hot I think they are looking at Tuesday so they can start early in the morning.  It's crazy how covering up the dirt makes the house look so much bigger.

 beams up for the garage floor and the plumbing put in for the basement.

August 17 & 18th

 After back to school night for the Jr. High kids we stopped to check out the house and we found a bobcat in the basement. 

 The next day they had moved tons of dirt around the foundation of the house.  It's very exciting to see it all come together.

Second Week of August

 Waterproofing done on the foundation walls and drain in.  Lovely.

Foundation Walls to set over the weekend - August 10

 Walls poured for the foundation, just setting over the weekend!  Wow, we have walls.

 Just home from Idaho, Morgan went with me to pick the dog up from my mom's house and we decided to just check out the footings one more time.  Surprise!  They had half of the framing up to pour our foundation walls!  So very exciting, it's not just a dirt pit any more.

Poured the Footings! August 3

Had the cousins all over for a bit so the younger ones all came up with me to see the pump truck pumping the concrete into the footings.  We showed up right inbetween cement trucks, but it was still cool to see the huge pump truck!
