House Truck #1--Back fill & Concrete Floor Busy Day 3-28

Today was a busy day!!  

The basement floor got poured right away this morning, it was 'cut' by this evening.  

Back filling began, which is pretty fun to see it look more finished.

Late afternoon the first truck came in with some parts to the house!!!!

 Britt seems to still think her pool is coming....with a wooden slide!!  lol

 Pictures are darker....took them after I got home from my golf meet!

Garage not totally filled in yet.

Pile of dirt on that side is nearly gone... see way back part of pic!

Basement Prep 3-27

Jordan was able to get closer to the house today to take basement floor pictures.  Side dump of sand was delivered and the floor or garage is suppose to be poured tomorrow.  (Pictures are from Jordan, I'm in DSM for FCCLA, so I'm guessing where everything is!

 Egress Window Wells are in!

 I think this is the Master Bathroom plumbing, but I'm not 100% sure!! 

Not sure what this is!   Sump hole...I think I've guess this before and was wrong...  Who knows!!

This weeks possible schedule:

Monday concrete guys come and prep for concrete

 MUDDDDD... Southeast Corner

 Nice looking front yard if you ask me!!

You can see the sand in the basement...plumbing is done as far as needed now we believe.

We have basement Walls!!!! :) 3-22

Basement and Garage base walls have been poured & forms came off!  Kinda like unwrapping a present or getting a cast off!  :)   I still the garage is high, but Jordan says to stop worrying and it'll be fine!  It's probably because of all the dirt that needs backfilled.

Walls are Poured... & H & O's adventures!!! 3-21

Today we the walls got poured!!  We got about 1 inch of snow this morning, so the walls were poured at 1:00 instead of in the morning...really not a big deal, we are just glad they got poured!!!  After school the Big kids and I changed shoes and went to the house so they could see all the progress.  They had a GREAT time 'running' around the outside of the wall forms in the tunnels....yes this mama was worried, but they were safe and had a great time.  What memories they will have of running on the outside of the basement.   Love them to pieces....oh and they also had fun on the the BIG dirt piles.

I'm kinda surprised how high our driveway will sit, but I'm sure it'll be good.  Tomorrow the forms will come off and then we will wait 7-10 days for the house.   I'm emailing L & L tonight to see what the new date for house delivery will be...so super exciting!  

 We have walls!!!   South of the garage looking north.  This would be the walk through garage door spot on the Left.

 Love them!

 Do I really have to take a pic with her??

Henry (almost 11)  Olivia (almost 8)  This was their first day checking out the house, so very fun to see their happy smiles and have them see the progress...all in ONE week's time!
