Stood on the porch
Yes, it's true. Without risking life nor limb jumping across the ditch surrounding my basement walls - because the ground is level now! - I finally got to stand on my porch. Since I hope that this is something I'll be able to do on a regular basis do I consider this a big step forward.
Oh, and there is enough wood sitting around my foundation to, well... build a house (or at least get started on one). So, I'm very excited about that too! Have a look:
You might also notice that they've graded all of the land behind my place now. That's promising. And across the road from me, although you can't see it in the photo (obviously), they have the basement walls up now. While I realize that I'll be living with dirt lawns and huge machinery in the area for several months, the sooner it all gets sorted out the better!
Considering that they're building the frames from top-to-bottom on the street (the reverse of how they poured the basements), I don't know quite what to expect next week, but they have to do something with the wood - find out in seven days I guess!
