Yay....the basement foundation was poured this morning (no fooling). I was able to catch the last cement truck and the cement boom as they were just finishing up the final touches on the pour. Now the "lego" blocks are full of cement. The site superintendent said that the cement will be "rock hard" by tomorrow.
The floor joists are supposed to come tomorrow. Weeping tiles still have to be installed and the utility services installed (power, gas, phone, cistern and septic). Then the backfilling and grading can begin. I can hardly wait for the piles of soil to be removed as they are used for backfill and grading.
It was a beautiful Easter weekend out at FullerHeits. A flock of common redpolls showed up to help clean up the birdseed spilled by the black-capped chickadees. It is so relaxing to sit in the lawn chair with the sun shining on my face and watching the little birds argue over who gets the best sunflower seed.
Here are some more photos. Enjoy.
