Floor joists in.

     Our floor joists are in! Now we are waiting for the plumber to come sometime in the next couple of days to do the rough-in plumbing.  After that is complete the pipes must be inspected then the framing will begin at the end of this week.
     The last few days it has poured down rain. We went out to the lot the other day to fix a broken temporary power pole and discovered our housepad was completely underwater!  The entire inside of the foundation was filled with water as well. On the hillside it sounded like a waterfall was flowing onto our lot.  This just solidifies our decision/NEED to put in french drains.  We have a storm drain that runs across the end of our easement where our driveway will be, and it was completely plugged up and not draining.  I had to call the city to come and have it cleaned out. 
     My mom went out to our property today and snapped these three pics of the floor joists and the remaining water.
The front cement blocks are to hold the front porch pillars.
The remaining puddle/pond and our lumber in it...
