The long weekend started with a trip up to our new place. Bob, our building contractor, calls everyday to report his progress and Friday's call brought the news that the foundation pour had gone well on Thursday and we should have a basement poured by the middle of next week! We were on our way to check it out. We have been getting a fair amount of rain and the driveway was a little greasy. Just before we got to the house, another truck coming down the hill, had to back up out of our way. It was Louise and Brian, the people we had bought the land from. It was the first time we had met them, face to face. We chatted for a while before they left and we carried on up to the house site.
Carol had been up last weekend while I was in Edmonton and saw the excavation, but it was the first time I had seen it. This time, it even had some concrete in it! The foundation stepped down the hill, I guess to ensure that the footings are below the frostline. It was very exciting to see the first "concrete" evidence that our house was going to be here, and that it was going to happen soon now!
