Day 6

Basement is DONE!! YAY!! They were pouring some more concrete today, but the basement is finished! 

As you can kind of tell from the picture, there was a lot of action at the house today, so I couldn't get up close and get great pics :) 

Now, we kind of wait to see if all of the black dirt that they pulled out will be enough to "build up" the house 6 feet or so. Let's hope it is so that we don't have to spend all of that extra money on dirt and can spend it on some fun house upgrades!! 

Day 4 - More Basement :)

Bear with me as the next few weeks may get slightly boring in terms of this blog! The basement takes awhile to do, so I need to be patient, but we still head out there every night to see the progress!! 

Here it is as of yeesterday!  It looks like they are about halfway done! YAY!!

I told Baron that I think they have it set how high the block needs to go in one of the corners. (I highlighted this with yellow on the picture below!) They are about halfway done with the basement, but the garage still needs to be completed :)

Enjoying watching the steady progress everyday!!

Day 3 - The Basement

They started on the basement now!! Yay!! It is fun to see where everything is going to go and have a better visual of the house! 

The look from the back of the house is neat to me! We are going to have a walkout, so you can see on the left will be a guest bedroom (in the jut-out area) and the right will be our family with a patio door to outside. 

We had beautiful black dirt/top soil, but in order to do a walkout, they had to scrape down our backyard. Here is Tristan in front of a huge pile of dirt! It really puts into perspective how big that pile actually is! And we have three more of them on our property!!

It is Memorial Day Weekend, so it will be a few days until I update next! To be honest, it feels like the progress is going quickly right now! I love seeing the changes day to day!!
