The foundation is complete! As you'll see below we went out there today to walk the new foundation and take some photos. It's all very exciting, but we had to whip out a measuring tape. When just looking at a foundation it all looks so SMALL, but it's deceptive and after measuring and comparing with the plans, looks like everything's about the right size. Weird!
Here's our front steps. They sprayed the bottom and some of the brick around the base, presumably to indicate where the dirt has to be backfilled to.
Some kind of drainage solution from the foundation. I assume these will be buried in the end.
A view of all the supports in the center of the house.
They're placed gravel into where the garage will be.
This is our well pump house, tipped over so they can replace the pump with a new one. There was nothing wrong with the old one, but we wanted to make sure it could support a house of this size. And it was old. And we like having running water and stuff.
Better view of the entire foundation. This is the 'high side' of the house.
Whoa. They dropped off the trusses up at the front of the property and it looks like one whole pile slipped off the rest. Bad delivery guy!
We're going to send photos of this to the builder, who I assume hasn't seen what they did yet. Some of this lumber looks like it's being bent pretty good, I'm not sure if it'll be usable or if they'll have to get some new trusses out there to replace them.
