Day 111: Driveway, Sidewalk and Steps

Today we were surprised to see that our driveway, sidewalk and back patio steps were poured. It was wet, freshly poured.

Can you guess what we did?

Yep.

Handprints!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We also discovered the garage was full of wood for our baseboards, boxes (our cabinets!) and our interior doors.  I just wanted to rip them open and take a peek!



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The girls got a kick out of watching this guy smooth out the steps.  

 

 

 

We stayed for a while today. It was fun to watch the guys doing the concrete. Then, our new neighbor, Esther, came over. We chatted for a while. It was nice to see her. 

 

What a fun day!

 

Day 104: Inspections and Driveway

Today the city and Greenzone, a third party inspector, were supposed to inspect the insulation and house for energy efficiency.  I haven't heard how they went yet. I should hear from Raymond tomorrow though.

Also today, our driveway and sidewalks were graded and framed out. Sorry the pictures are at night. Today was a long busy day. I enjoy coming by, even if it's late at night.

Day 96: Foam, Spray, Security... Oh My!

Today we found more supplies delivered for the driveway. When we ventured inside, we saw the house had been foamed sealed and then sprayed with some sort of blue stuff which I've since learned is called Bora Care. Its a required termite preventative that all FHA backed loans must have done. It makes the wood completely untouchable by termites. Sweet, right?! I also noticed the house had its security system installed. We saw some new pieces installed on the ceiling as well as a couple of attic vents. The braker box appears to have gotten hooked up, too. And my kitchen island has been reinforced. The kids found that they had drywall in their rooms so we couldnt walk around much. We found a few more random pieces to add to our treasure box, too.

Driveway Placement

Since the slab couldn't get poured, looks like they found something that could done: they cut our driveway placement. :)
