Baby's got Floor!
I walked on our floor today. At the new house! Yeah baby - it's not "our property" anymore - it's our HOUSE! The plywood is all down and attached on the main level. Josh says that they should start framing walls next week! And George will be submitting the window order now too.
When I got there at lunch today they were raking out the gravel in the basement to prep for the basement floor pour. And it was pretty cool walking around inside. Yes - our house has an INSIDE! Because since the main level now has a FLOOR, that means the basement now has a CEILING!
Nelson has had his equipment fixed (get your minds out of the gutter people. Apparently he's had a run of bad luck recently with his dirt moving machines breaking down) so he'll be back out tomorrow continuing to fill in the trench around the concrete basement walls up to the top of the waterproof barrier. He's got some filled in already and tamped down - so in addition to having a floor, the house looks less like a sinister fortress with a moat and more like a house with a basement.
Being the dork that I am I forgot to bring my camera. So pictures will have to wait until tomorrow or Friday. I gotta get me a damn camera phone. I can blog from my phone as you've seen - I really need one that can take pictures too for those moments when I forget to bring my camera.
