The neighbors have been visiting everyday that they have been working on the house. The lawn chairs are lined up along the edge of the work area and we all sit and watch. Everyone is anxious to know when the house is coming. Progess is being made.
The blocks were delivered Oct 13, 2010. They began with the basement walls.
Oct 14, 2010 another day working on the house block...
The walls are getting higher....
The end of another day of work....
The progress as of the end of Oct 15, 2010. This is the roadside of the house. They added tar to the wall before they headed home.
Yesterday we had quite a bit of activity. They filled the block on the basement with insulation....
They filled the basement floor and outside edges with pea gravel. The truck had a converyor on it and the gravel shot out across the basement floor. Was pretty neat to watch.
This is one of the masons in the basement of 
.....and another crew finished the sill plate on the house basement walls....
They finished the garage walls this afternoon and have called for the inspection. I can't believe that I didn't get some pictures tonight when they finished up! I guess that we were beat from watching them work so hard all day long....LOL. I'll take some next time we go up of the finished basement and garage foundations. They have to build the stick built wall of the walkout basement and backfill around the outside of the block walls. Loads of sand fill will be added to the inside of the garage and packed down between layers to bring it up to grade. After that, the cement will be poured for the basement and garage floors. The house will be delivered possibly within the next couple of weeks! There's one house in front of ours. We heard that they have to have two days of nice weather to set a house onto a foundation. Last we heard, they will be setting our house with a crane. They had thought that they were just going to roll it off of the truck onto the foundation, but I guess the plan has changed. Will be interesting! Of course, they are calling for rain nearly everyday next week, so we will have to wait to see what happens. Ughhhhh.....
