The next step is getting the floor joists in and the rough in plumbing then inspection on all that, THEN the framing can begin. Chris the construction manager said that the guys will probably be out there on Friday to do the floor or Monday depending on when they finish another job on the coast.
We have decided that it will be necessary to install french drains around the house and maybe along the edge of the property that the hill is on. There is a lot of runoff from construction up on the hillside. A neighbor was telling us that it was flooding his backyard. So we are going to try to be proactive and stop it before it can begin. More on this later... Now for the pics!
The foundation, facing the front of the house, with my back to the driveway. Look we have a portapotty!! :)
Looking at the side of the house that the kitchen and dining room is on.
Looking at the side of the house with the garage and the living room. Kevin was walking around planning his french drains.
Standing in the kitchen looking toward the front door, dining room, and den.
Standing at the front door looking across the garage to the living room.
Floor joists waiting to be installed. :)
In this shot you can see the opening for the side garage exterior door we added. It will lead into our dogs side yard. You can also see the downgrade in the garage for any runoff.

Awesome... It is so exciting.. and glad you get to have this picture scrapbook to remember it. :)
