Progress

Last Monday the Fletcher's invited us over for dinner and we found a lot of action going on at our lot.  They were pouring the footings for our foundation!  We were really excited!  Emily and Adrienne said that their kids had enjoyed watching all the fun.

 

 I think the coolest thing was this truck.  Because they can't get a cement truck into the pit, they use this truck that has a long arm with a tube attached to it.  They pump the cement into the pit through the tube.  It probably seems obvious that they would need to do something like that, but I thought it was clever and way cool!

 So, they poured the footings on Monday and this is what it looked like by Thursday!  Emily called me and said, "They are just cruising on your house!"

Another cool truck!  You can see Emily's house in the background.  I never thought that I'd have so many pictures of inanimate objects on our blog, but I am loving this progress on our new home!
