Basement walls

Yesterday they poured the basement walls. If all goes well, they'll pour the floor next week and start framing the week after. We thought the snow storms this week would slow things down, but they've kept working right through them.

We visit the site once or twice a day. It's pretty exciting to see the plans on paper become real. The kids love to ride their scooters to the lot, run around to the back of the house to get a good view of the construction, and then play with the kids next door for an hour or so. It's great to see them having such a good time with the neighbor kids who live on both sides of us--it's one of our main reasons for moving. Even though it's just down the street, I think it will make it a lot easier to let the kids run around outside with their friends.
