In my previous home update the concrete block foundation was done and they workers were just starting on the front wall and fireplace. Now both of those are done, too. We had a couple of hiccups. The fireplace was about 1/3 of the way up before some errors were discovered and they had to knock it down and start over. There was also a spot of foundation near the garage entrance that needed to be redone. No big deal in retrospect but it caused a bit of stress between our (Jason’s) discovery of the issues and getting both places fixed. Here are some pictures of dirt and concrete blocks, in progress:
This cutie pie strolls down with us to check out the house sometimes. She was so adorable with her pink frilly skirt and flushed cheeks, that I couldn’t help doing a mini photo session.
A couple days later we went back to check out the finished concrete block. Jason and Precious are standing in the garage.
It may not look like much yet but when I see these pictures, I see the office and laundry room…
the courtyard and front door…
the kitchen and dining room…
the living room…
the master bedroom, bathroom and closet…
the kids rooms, bathroom and den…
When Jason and I see the front wall and fireplace, we can envision the whole house built around them.
But, I can imagine it looks pretty strange to someone who doesn’t have the finished house design in mind.
A neighbor we haven’t met stopped by the other day and asked our site supervisor what we’re building.
“A house,” Scott answered.
“What’s that wall for?” the neighbor asked.
“It’s part of the house!”
And that was that.
