House Progress- Woo Hoo!!
So my last post on the house was June 21st and this is the last picture that I posted re: the house. A lot has happened since then :) and that's a good thing! Right after this dried...
...they came and set up the boards and poured the actual footings (June 25th).
On June 26th, they took the footing boards off. Wayne hauled about 14 more dump trucks loads of dirt, because the 12 he hauled earlier obviously was NOT going to be enough to backfill around the foundation (like we had hoped).
On June 27th the showers and windows were delivered.
June 27th and 28th were the 2 days the builders gave us to backfill around the foundation. Wayne got most of it done on the 27th and finished up the garage floor (he put gravel inside) on the 28th.
That day he also had to dig out the water line holes (1 more not pictured).
Also, the floor joists arrived.
On June 30th, the framers (same ones for the entire house) showed up to install the floor joists.
July 2nd the builders had a crew come out and deliver the 20 yards of dirt/rock they provide to backfill the remainder of the garage. Not only were they in charge of bringing the load, but they also did the labor of backfilling :) Wayne was happy considering he spent SEVERAL hours the previous 2 days backfilling!
The plumber also was there and installed the rough plumbing.July 3rd the concrete guys came and poured the garage floor...can not locate picture at this time :(
Today, July 5th was a WONDERFUL day as far as work goes! It looks like a house!Front of house

Yeah! Its taking shape. What an adventure. :)
I'm finally catching up on reading blogs! Your house is coming along. It just takes time...lots of time!
Is your main floor wood or concrete? We have a huge basement, so ours is concrete.
Our main floor is wood. The ground here (where we are building anyhow) is WAY TOO HARD to dig down to have a basement! DH had quite the time with the backhoe trying to get all the trenches dug!
