A Basement for the Birthday Boy...

Of course my post last week was about us visiting the lot every day just to see that the wall forms had not moved and nothing had been done at all. Then we stop by on Friday to find a wonderful site - a basement!

Then yesterday, Matt's birthday, he stopped by to find they had added the sealant and the port windows.

Funny story about those windows though. During the selections process Matt drew out where he wanted the plumbing in the basement as well as the larger window we are having put in. On that drawing he included 3 port windows. Our selections lady, Linda, was terribly confused because we had never told her we wanted an extra port window. This is because we didn't know that 3 meant an extra one and that only 2 were standard. She told us the extra window would be $200 and we said "no thanks" mainly because we just didn't need it. So we agreed to stick with the 2 that were standard on the non-garage side of the house (in the picture above).

Low and behold when we saw the basement on Friday we noticed an extra hole for what we assumed was a port window on the garage side. Wondered if that meant we were getting the 3rd window despite all the confusion. And guess what...we did!

So I had a very happy birthday boy who got a basement and an extra window for his birthday.
