The building of 581 is really starting?!

so, here in a nutshell is the goings on at 581.

We tore the house down, dug out the old foundation, hired a framer to do the forming/framing of the house. He's doing Dave and Sheryl's shack around the corner and came recommended. He formed the foundation, cement was poured when we then realized, maybe a little late, that the front eleveations were off. One side was 204' and the other 200'. I'm not sure how 200 feet comes into play, but what I do know is that one side of our property is 4 feet higher than the other side.  We were to have 5 steps UP to our new house but had we not caught the error, we would have had a couple steps DOWN to the house...that would have been slightly uncool.

To remedy, we are building a higher basement (framing, not concrete) so we'll have 9'+ ceilings in the basement to accomodate. Should give us a couple steps up which is fine.

waiting for the foundation to be poured for the garage...2 car BIG garage...
