New House Week 2

/

Rain came in by the buckets on Monday and Tuesday so we didn't actually think much work would be done this week so we were happily surprised when George called Wednesday morning to let us know that they were going to start digging the footers that same day, forms and concrete completed by Friday and foundation started next week.Since Guy was tied up with things in NVA I headed out to the property after work to take some pictures to show Guy.  Once I arrived we realized we could Face Time so we were able to "see" the first signs of our house together.  For a 2300 square foot house it seems so small but Guy assured me that often that happens with footers and once framing starts we will get a real feel for it.1502082_origBesides that is was relatively quiet.  We had the appliances quoted somewhere else to ensure we were getting the deal we thought we were (and yes we are) and I started looking at tile again for the master bath and while I didn't find tile I did stop into Ikea since I was next door and checked out a few pieces of furniture we liked online.  Love both of these beds for the "grandkids" guestroom,  not 100% sure  but since there is a large price difference between the two probably the one on the left will be what we end up with.1081707_orig     1205402_origThat's it, as we said a slow week but that is all about to change as now each time we go out to the property we will see more and more progress.
