Today they finished digging the footers for the garage wing and the computer room, adding substantially to the dirt pile height. They started staking out the footers for the surveyor to check and will finish that up tomorrow morning. If they get done early enough, the surveyor can come out to do the inspection tomorrow which means, if approved, Wayne (from Co-Del Construction) can go ahead and order the concrete. So the earliest the concrete could get poured is Friday, but they’re expecting that it’ll probably be Monday.
Fortunately, the weather folks are forecasting pretty spectacular weather next week, so the pouring, blocking, and whatnot (always with the whatnot) should go without a hitch. Before we know it, they’ll be framing it up and we’ll be all “Holy crap! It’s a house!”
In the meantime, here are a number of pictures from “Footer Excavation Day.” (click to embiggen)
