From the Backyard
Well I was hoping to make this report around this time last week, but delayed plumbing inspections as well as inclement weather pushed the pouring of the foundation about a week. Nevertheless, the foundation is now poured, and from here, I know the rest goes up very quickly.
I was however noticing one thing—with just the cement poured, the house looks rather small. Now, I have been inside of a couple of houses that share my floor plan, including the model home, and they all look much larger than just the foundation of my house does. Either way, I know that soon the walls will go up, the roof will go on, and then it will look much bigger than it does now, with just the foundation poured. That smaller square in the foreground of the picture will become my covered patio, and they should be pouring another 12′x12′ square right next to it, where I’ll put the grill.
Now I’m going to really have to start checking up on the lot more often, because in 2 weeks or less, the house will have walls and a roof, and I want to get all the steps in between. Do stay tuned for updates, they should be pouring in!
