This is a recap of where they are on the house, just before it gets real interesting
We started out with the driveway to nowhere (April 10, 2008)
Here's Bettie and Tag (the builder) discussing the layout of the house, using our makeshift window markers as a reference point. (April 14)
Then came dirt day (April 30). This picture shows from the computer room looking through the house to the dining room.
We got footers on May 1.
The next day, they filled in with gravel
By May 6, the basement walls had been poured:
Iron got added May 7
On May 10, the day we got back from Orlando, we took a walk around the place. I'm standing on top of a dirt pile.
May 13 saw the basement floor poured
The basement walls have rounded inside corners! (May 18, just after seeing the second Narnia movie)
Switching over to the septic side, here's a shot from May 6 that shows the bottom floor
The next day saw fine gravel, footprints, and pick-up pipes
By May 12, it had been all filled in
These pix are from Narnia day. This is our sump pump (a county requirement). That's the lid leaning against the wall.
And a couple minutes later, it fell down. Bettie thinks we may have a drafty basement.

Whaddaya know?!
Who'da thunk? Not only did they dig a big hole in the ground, but they're putting stuff into it as well. (Pix from May 3 2008)
They have footers and gravel
as well as the footer for the front porch
Even the place where electric is going to come in
(that's the edge of the sump pump in the lower left - a county requirement)
And to keep animals from falling in to the hole, we put up signs
More coming soon - they get vertical with this thing!
