Foundation and Basement walls

Every time I drive up to the house, (I can now say instead of “lot”)  I am in awe of the progress that’s been made. It has everything to do with Daniel and all his hard work. So far the contractors we’ve hired have been on the ball and getting things done so fast for us. It’s not easy on Daniel keeping up with the contractors, the township, his business, and his family at home. I can’t be more grateful for everything he does.

SO!  Whats happening?

The concrete walls are in. They were stripping the basement walls when we arrived today and hauling them out. We met our builder on site today to make some last minute decisions/adjustments.

Windows are ordered. I can’t believe we have total of 44 windows!  I can’t wait to move to the inside shenanigans!!! 🙂

Daniel and I have some homework to do. Priority is finding a front door and starting on the kitchen stuff. Ekkk!!! I’m so excited! I’m not one for all the fanciness but a nice, cozy farmhouse kitchen is what I’m thinking!!

Here are before and after pictures within the past 1-2 weeks.

 

 

In the second photo, lower right corner “box” is our two car garage. The rest of the framing is just the basement itself. We will be keeping our basement “unfinished” until we know exactly what we want to do. Our basement is a total of 1,585 sq ft.

SO, what’s next?

Tomorrow, Daniel and one of his employee’s will be up the house to waterproof the foundation. After that our excavator will come back out to back fill the basement. Once that’s complete we will set the steal frame and our builder will start the framing. He said framing will take about 2 weeks!

To be continued…🙏
