Ahhh...The Smell of Dirt

We broke ground on schedule. I stopped by and immediately recognized the dirt smell. It brought me back to when my parents built their home while I was in middle school. Luckily we were able to stop by almost daily to watch the progress and I remember it being such a cool experience which is probably one of the reasons I will probably never buy a home that isn't new construction. That and I'm way to picky, so the customization part of it is a MUST!

Anywho...lots of progress since then. The footers were poured that same week and a little less than a week later the foundation was poured. We actually just happened to stop by right when they started pouring which was cool to see. Cement trucks everywhere!

Stopped by yesterday and the forms where already off, a lot of the dirt had been pushed back and they're prepping to do the basement (basement may already be done, couldn't tell as it was covered in plastic) and garage floors.

Lot's of exciting progress and supposedly lumber may start being delivered today and we may have some framing done by our standing PM appointment next Thursday! They certainly don't waste any time.

Here's a few pics of the progress thus far. Apologies for the darkness, most the time I can't get over there until after work and this time of year it gets dark waaaaay to early.

Oh, and Happy Turkey Day!!!
