Here's the next stage of our house progression! It seems like it is going by so fast, yet it can't be finished soon enough! I have to note on this stage that Richie and I had to do some manual labor. They poured the foundation a day or so before the last round of snow that we received. We knew that the standing water/ice/snow was not good on the foundation, so we headed out there and swept off all of the water the day after. Luckily, it was a very sunny day and the foundation was dry within an hour. Whew!
The next stage: Footing and Foundation.
