Progress

We are now the proud owners of a pit in the ground (or on the side of a hill?) Here is the lot a few days before they started digging. These were taken about two weeks ago.


The "sidewalk" at the back of the lot is a path that runs through our neighborhood. And then, to get a feel for really how sloped it is, here's a shot from the back of the lot up to the front. In all of it's Northwestern fog glory. On a side note, I am in serious love with all this fog. Feels cozy and moody, all at the same time. Hmm...maybe it's a metaphor for me ;).


And, here's the digger sitting in front of the lot, waiting to be put to use.


The house next to us is just a few weeks ahead of ours, so it's fun to see the progress and know where we'll be in just a few weeks.

A week ago, we then had ourselves a dug out hillside. These were taken on Christmas Eve.





And finally, as of this weekend, we have concrete footers for the foundation.





I know these aren't the most glamorous of house shots, but I think it will be fun to have pictures of where we've come from - a little house journal of sorts. Today I drove by and they have the forms up on the footings. Can I get three cheers for foundation walls?!?
