Concrete...finally!

The long awaited concrete post is finally here. The concrete is finally done. Boy, does that feel good to be able to say! Waiting on the weather and then the guys that were pouring the concrete has been quite a lesson in patience. We finally have a foundation! At some points I never thought this day would get here but here we are.
This is what it looks like in the process. The footings have been poured and the rebar has been put down. Next is pouring the rest of the concrete.

smoothing out the concrete and making sure it is level


It is such a tedious job but such an important one

Regular part of the house is done. Just waiting on the porch to be poured

Finished foundation!

So there it is! The foundation of our house! It's crazy how real it is starting to feel. This week they are starting the framing so there will be another post soon! Thanks for sticking with us even when it looks like there aren't any updates. Things should move quickly now!
