Progress continues!




Okay. Well, I am not one to make a mountain out of a mole hill...but check out my mountian of dirt!! That is the big pile that they made at first and there is another one on the other side of the big hole!

Step two has begun. They came in with all the form for the basment. The basement walls are to be nine feet tall and made out of concrete. So, that means they have to bring the forms in, set them up, and then put the concrete in to create the walls. This is another big undertaking. We were told that this whole process will more than likely take about three to four weeks to complete since they have to make the walls, let them dry, take off the forms, then go to the other side and do the same thing!! They don't have enough forms for the whole basement so all will be kinda pieced together.
Once all the walls are put into place, the next step is to come in and fill in the outside of the holes will some of the pile of dirt you see in the first pic. After that, they can then work on the concrete and forms for the top part where the garage and other sections of the house will be. Whew!! That is a lot of work!!

Will keep you all update on the enormous undertaking!!
