The wisepeople built their house upon the rock...

... and so it came to pass.

Brian and I both learned from an early age that only foolish men build their houses upon the sand, so we were pretty pleased when our field manager called Brian today and told him that they were pouring the foundation. The plan is then to complete the brick footing tomorrow and then back-fill any dirt that they displaced that we might need. Chris also mentioned that the lumber is set for delivery for mid-next week, so next week should be framing!

After work, we headed out there, camera in tow, to check out the progress. By 6:30, they had pretty much completed everything, but there were still three workers out there finishing up the concrete in the garage. One really cool thing is that our front porch is like completely done now, with respect to cement. It was cool to see the little patterns in the cement (like all the other houses...). I was really fascinated by the foundation--it's very clean cut and smooth with sharp, straight edges around the perimeter. 'Twas very exciting :-)

Tomorrow we should have some pictures on the progress of the footing.
