Week 1 Construction

So...remember my last blog when I wrote about the builder advising the schedule is set in stone barring any any great weather events?  Well, we now know that might not be the case.  We are not in any rush to move in the middle of winter and the builder knows that, why would he not be real with us when it comes to delays?  We don't care if a delay comes up, but tell us that!!!  We don't want to waste anymore time driving over to the house to see no progress.

Here was week one schedule the builder gave us:

10/12 - Wednesday - Dig foundation - We went to the house after work, nothing was done!!!!

10/14 - Friday - Form and pour footers - We did not go to the house after work, because we went to a wedding.  We only went out Sunday and the footers were formed, but not poured.

Here was the actual schedule:

10/13 - Thursday - Dig foundation

10/14 - Friday - Form footers

Below are pictures of the ground breaking, taken on 10/13.
