I was mundanely pulling nails from 2x4s when I heard a deep rumble from the alley. I peeked through the boarded up window in the back and did a little jig when I saw a Bobcat excavator rumbling into the yard. They were here to dig! We have been waiting over a month now for the foundation pouring stars to align (well, actually, for the bids to come in and the weather to warm up) and now everything seems to be in place. The digging happens today and tomorrow. Then the foundation forms are put in place, the city inspector comes to (hopefully) give his ok, and then comes the concrete!
We're hoping Monday will be the day for our new foundation, but even it takes an extra day or so we'll still have it very soon. Just in time, too, as we slow down with jobs to do in the existing house. Once we have the foundation we will certainly have plenty to do!
