Day 2 - 5/24 - Pouring the Footings

I am shocked by what I have learned about the building process just in the last couple of days! Let's be honest, I had no idea what "footings" were until I stopped out at the lot and saw them for myself! I would have assumed they were a new type of shoe that I probably needed to buy ;)

This is the "top" part of the house where the front will sit. As you can see from this angle, they had to level our backyard, but luckily it is beautiful black dirt, so we may be able to use it and salvage some cost from our final grade and sod!

This is the framing for the footings. Again, please bear with me as I am not 100% sure I am using ANY of these words right - haha! But I am definitely trying!!

The guys working were very kind and explained to me what I was looking at - our basement - and where the stairs would go, etc. It is really very, very cool to see everything come together from the ground up!!

This isn't really my area of expertise, but it is fun to see the progress they make everyday! It is about 90 degrees here, too, so we appreciate their hard work!
