All that digging and timber-clearing were cool and all, but this is what makes it feel real. Really real. Stuff-is-actually-being-built real. And with the foundation in, it’s way easier to visualize where things will be and get a better idea of room sizes, views, etc.
At this point, the block has clearly been laid and the beginnings of our drainage system are in place. The walls were reinforced with rebar and concrete, and they moved some dirt into the basement/patio areas to prep it for getting a floor. Whenever that happens. They also tarred the outside of the foundation for extra waterproofing.
I’m still in various stages of cat-herding with the gas, electric, and water companies at the moment. I am legitimately floored by how much project management I’m having to do. lol I’m constantly calling and emailing people about things. Half the time I have to pass them along to the builder because I have no idea wtf is going on. They get all specific with me about BTU outputs and junction boxes and no. Just no. I have no idea, please talk to the professional about that.
