Week 4, More Basement Progress...

After the excitement with getting the basement walls poured, it has been fun to go by every day to see if anything else new has happened. Sometimes it hard to notice until you are on the lot and it hits you that maybe something is different.

This happened to Matt when he went by last Wednesday. At first glance he didn't think anything new had happened but when he got out to explore he realized quite a bit had happened, it just was things that aren't huge changes. For example, when they poured the walls, you could walk around the outside of them, between the wall and the dirt. Now the dirt is filled in all around so it is up against the walls and the lost is somewhat leveled out. Also, the garage and front porch areas were just big holes. Now they are filled in with gravel.

This gives us a much better idea of the back yard.

They had also started digging holes for the plumbing in the basement:

When we went by the next day, on Friday, we saw a few more small but  significant changes:

Plumbing for the water heater and full bath in the basement.

Last night we stopped by to find another very small but very significant change, the water line had been run from the main line into the basement. The kids also enjoyed playing around and checking everything out.
