New House Update

So... We had a little set back on the house but things are back on track now. Last week when Curtis checked the house he realized that the block wasn't built high enough (something about flooding in the front if they left it the way it was) So he had to tell them to tear out the top layer and re-build it higher. It set us back a couple days, but not too bad. They ordered the block and got it going pretty fast. Here's a picture of the blocks that they tore down. And here is the way it is supposed to look! Piper loved playing in the dirt. Here she is posing for a picture in the master bathroom and Curtis is in the garage.
This is what it looks like from the back. That square coming off the back is the screened porch (they do that A LOT out here). Curtis is thinking of building deck instead of doing the concrete slab at the bottom. I think that would look SO nice! Can you believe how high it is!! I knew that was the point of a raised slab but I just didn't realize it was going to be that high up. I hope the deck thing works out!! It would look so great. I just can't wait to get in and buy patio furniture and have dinners out on our screened porch with the fountain going in the background!
Anyway, that's how things are going there. Curtis said they are going to finnish filling it in with dirt today, then do the soil test tomorrow, get the plumbers in on wed and do the inspection, then have someone do something on thurs and have those inspector do that inspection on thurs and pour concrete friday so they can start framing on monday! WOW that's a LOT!!!!!!! Hope it works out according to the schedule! I'll keep the blog updated!

Oh yeah, incase anyone cares - I'm going to have Curtis have someone (?) bring in at least 2 more loads of dirt for the back yard so it doesn't slope down so bad into the lake. Just incase anyone was worried about that! haha
