We have footers!

They poured the footers yesterday and are pouring the frost footers today. Thursday, they're pouring the basement walls. Moving right along! Here's the latest pics:

I'm sure I'll be posting updates a lot more often from now on. ;)

So it's been awhile...

I know I haven't updated this in a month.....but I've been SO busy! A lot has happened so I will fill everyone in as quickly as possible. We closed on the construction loan/mortgage last Friday. We ended up with a rate of 6.25% so not horrible, but not awesome either. If we would have done this a year or two ago, I bet we would have been at 5 something. Bummer! We got our permits back and they were partially denied. So they were fixed by the builder and should have been resubmitted yesterday. We SHOULD have those back in 2-3 days. So we're on the builder's schedule to break ground end of next week. Yay! My next update should have pics. *fingers crossed*
