Impressed

My goal today was to get some daylight pictures of our foundation.  Who knew I'd be so excited about some cinder blocks and cement!  Of course by the time I got there after all of my Christmas shopping it was already dark - at 5:30!  I did get a few pictures, they're not great, but they'll do until I can get back (maybe tomorrow if we don't get the bad winter weather they're predicting).  Anyway I was so impressed (and feeling badly) that there was a man working on the foundation...by himself...after hours...on a cold Saturday evening.  He was working in the dark with a little light on his hard hat.  He was super nice!  He said he wanted to get a lot finished today since we're looking at snow and ice on Monday.  I know its his job, but I was just really impressed by this.  After all of my frustration in getting the house started, I couldn't be happier with how things are moving along now.  Also, the lumber was delivered!  They'll start framing on Thursday!

  1. KM, thanks for the comments. We just had our pre-start meeting on Thursday. We are building in Marshall Heights which is north of Pittsburgh as well (Cranberry). Will you be our neighbor? We initially had Jeremy as a PM, but was just recently switched to Lou. Our delivery date has been pushed back to late April, possibly May. A bit disappointed about that, but I'd rather have our house built correctly. And, besides thats a perfect time to move.
