So...THIS happened:
They set our forms!!
The house is coming to life! What this is for is to provide the perimeter for the concrete slab that will make up everything (porches, living space, garage). This is the view from the front, will be looking at the entire front of the house with the garage on the right, the porch in front and the master bedroom on the far left hand side (as looking at the house).
Here are some other angles:
This is the front corner of the house, where the master closet will be and the jut out is part of the corner of the guest room and the other part is the front porch that was taking shape.
This wall encompasses the master closet, the master bath and the master bedroom.
This wall is the garage and back porch.
This is the front corner of the garage.
Here's another view of the front of the garage while standing on what will be the front porch (well, close to the front porch).
And lastly, here's a cool picture:
This is the entire back of the house, encompassing from right to left, what will be the master bedroom, living room, screened in porch, dining room, utility room and back of the garage.
What we like about this picture, and what we didn't realize, is that when we moved the house forward 10 feet (compared to the prior house) we knew we'd have more of a backyard but now we can SEE it. And wow, we DO have a much bigger space between the house and the orchard. We see all sorts of potential here.
Now the forms are set and this week they are loading the fill dirt into the forms. It's a bit wet out there now after the snow melt and rainfall (this was done to beat the snow last week) so we'll see how everything goes.
We have a house taking shape!
Exciting! Every day is a new adventure.
ReplyDeleteBefore the freezing temperatures and wintery blast of snow moved into the Houston area; I mentioned to Roger; "I wonder if the construction crew where able to get the forms made.' Next; In come the cement trucks; cement truck convoy.
' Today only Happens once. . .
Make the most of it.'
Have an enjoyable day along with a wonderful evening.
