Today, the plumbers were at the house installing the plumbing.  The dirt, sand, and cinder blocks are beginning to look more like a home. :)

Day 23

Monday, May 9, 2011 ~ The Footprint....Literally


Today, the builder laid the concrete blocks outlining the "footprint" of the house.


  

We were both elated to see the progress! In fact, John was so excited that he jumped out of the car, put on some tennis shoes, and walked straight into a puddle of wet cemet in his dress pants. So, we literally have two footprints on the lot:  one of the house and one of John's foot. :)

Today, our bricks were delivered to the lot!

After work, we headed by the lot to check out the progress made.  We discovered that the builder had poured the concrete into the footings.  With each day of progress, we get more excited about the end product.


Below are some pictures of the lot.
