No more kitchen floor, sills

The framing is starting!

Less formwork

They removed part of the formwork for our foundation walls.  It's removing something, but feels so much more like forward progress than demo did.

Foundation walls!

We now have foundation walls and grade beams.  Progress!

Open floorplan

Not sure if I can usefully blog a photosphere, but I want to try.

Ufer!

Over the weekend, we installed an Ufer.  It is a grounding line clamped to the rebar in the foundation.

More piers poured!

We've finished the piers.  I'm excited to start having more visible work above ground.

More haunches

Slowly, but surely there is more progress on the foundation.  And the piles in the back yard get bigger. 

Slow weekend

I picked up trash, Ian unscrewed some plywood.  We did get a fair bit of training in four our upcoming bike vacation.  We're at a point where our contractors need to do work, and we can't contribute too much.  I also watered my small collection of native plants that I've grown from seed.  These will be the start of our landscaping.

More foundation and a view of our front yard

I'll be very happy when my yard  is a place for plants to grow, instead if a place to stage debris.  There was more progress on the foundation today.  Slowly but surely, we will get there.

No more linoleum but more foundation

The kitchen linoleum is gone.  Both layers!  I think i could have lived with the original green linoleum.  The newer brown linoleum was never properly installed.  Time for something new!

And work on haunches to support the garage foundation.
