We failed our first inspection due to the foundation company's rush to get the job done
. The foundation company stayed late Thursday to finish the job and did not complete it to the county's liking. Evidently, the s
teel re-bar that
reinforces the concrete must "float" 2-3 inches above the dirt to meet code. Theirs was touching in many places according to the
inspector. Not to worry though, they came back fixed the problem and we passed this morning. That means today we have a footing (the wide concrete at the bottom of the wall to hold the house up.) The kids loved watching another big truck at work.
Tomorrow morning the crew will form the walls and then they will pour the walls tomorrow afternoon. Tomorrow is a big day with lots of
surprises. Stay tuned!

Miss you guys - love,

Thanks for keeping us updated. You cannot send too many pictures too often. Hope you don't have many more surprises. I can't imagine what things will be like next time we see it.
That was me.

It's been a long time coming!
Everyday is a new day. Physical changes are finally taking place.
Hopefully, jumping through the hoops are over.
We're excited for you!!!!!!
Love you

Lookin'good! We love looking at the pictures to see all the work going on. Keep the pictures coming!
Yes, we have TGI Friday's. In fact, we have two! They are pretty expensive, but we were treated by the couple from America so we really enjoyed it. And yes, they wear the red and white stripes. The only difference is that instead of saying, "Enjoy your meal", they say "Jo etvagyat"!
