Ladies and Gentleman, we have a slab!


Yes, week #3 went by fast, and the house finally has a complete foundation. The workers said that framing could easily start as soon as today, depending on whether or not our lumber package is delivered on a Saturday. But if not, it will easily resume on Monday, and hopefully I will have pictures of a fully framed house by next Friday. p.s. If you think that is crazy fast, and no house is built in that short amount of time, well, then you have never visited this area of the country. These houses practically put themselves together in no time flat.

It is crazy how fast people can build if they have enough workers! Our house was built from nothing to a full home (2400 sq ft plus an 8' deep "crawl" space) in less than 60 days. It was insane!

That is an insanely huge crawl space! Why not dig another 2 feet and give you a full basement?!
