Soft cover

Foundation inspection got done and now the crawling space is getting covered with insulation.

Touching wood.

This is it, I guess most of the concrete the house will ever see has been poured - excluding stucco I guess. Now it is moving quite visibly fast, with the joists being put in place and along with the plumbing, sewer, heating lines that are lying under the sub floor.





Now some of the framing material has arrived already as you can see here:

Out of the coffins

Most of the foundation is now out of the coffins and the overall shape of the house - at least on the floor - is starting to come clean. The removal of the home office and reduction of 3 feet off the back seems to make a good difference as we were hoping for. The front of the house even though it will be bigger than before does not appear to jump too much in the face when looked from the road side (right side on the street).

Solidworks

Foundation work is progressing with most of the areas requiring update getting ready or close to. Still a long way to go before we see a house up here...

Clean-up

Somehow the lot is becoming cleaner with debris being removed and the preparation for the additional foundation being made. so far it looks like no big root from the Magnolia tree has been cut which was a concern because it is only 5/6 feet from the digging area.
