Foundation Work



It's a bummer to go by the house now, because progress has been slow and the whole yard is a mess. It's hard to see what it's all going to look like. We went by yesterday before visiting our neighbors to watch the Superbowl, and it was weird parking in our driveway, not going inside the house, seeing the mess, and then (after the party) leaving to go back to the rental.

One good thing about doing this project in the winter is that we feel like the noise impact to our neighbors is minimal due to everyone being inside and having their windows shut. But, the foundation work has gone slowly because of rain, sleet and snow. We had two good days last week, so they should be finishing up now, and then we start the framing, which we've heard goes fast.

On the positive side, I get to order a lot of things right now (cabinets, sinks, faucets, etc.) in preparation for all the interior work that will start soon. Very exciting!
