Spoke with my foundation guy this morning. Should be doing the stem walls this afternoon and tomorrow.

Glad you decided to make us part of your build. Sorry you feel the way you do about this site. Would you care to walk us through the foundation pictures? How deep are your footers and all.

Also what are you doing to make a 3/4 bath? I've heard of full and half but never a 3/4.

Sounds like you have a plan. Good.

I hear ya on several of your comments... I could not post a house build here but REALLY glad other people do!! I have a house build blog going on but it's mainly so I can remember what and how things were done.

So here's a big old THANKS for posting yours!!!

I didn't mean to offend. TBN is a great site and there's a bunch of good people on here. I've learned a lot on here and enjoyed many threads and conversations. Thank you, thank you for those experiences.

What I meant in my last post was that I'm going to be upfront and I will be selective with the advise I heed. I don't know you guys and gals any more than you know me. I think there are a lot of well-intentioned, knowledgeable, skilled, and experience folks on here. I also think there are a lot of folks that don't have all or any of those attibutes. We all have different wants and needs, so what you think is right isn't always going to be the be best fit for me. Now that I think of it, I think that's why I'm restarting this thread after the building is started. Too late to change the plans in any major way. It is what it is. Good or bad.

That said, my family is super excited to be moving forward with this. I'll try to take you along for the ride. Thank you in advance for comments and suggestions.

Amen and thanks for the empathy. I'm trying to edit/caption the pictures in my earlier post....Had to switch to the desktop browser.

Pictures reorganized and have captions.

Footings look good. Curious when you put your utilities in? I've never seen anybody pour concrete before the drain pipes where in place before. Will you be running electricity under ground? Will the kitchen have an island and need power and water to it through the slab?

I'm following your plans and progress here, as I plan some building out in my existing barn.

I'll be posting a separate thread of my own.

That's a good question. I've never seen this before but They're putting sleeves in the walls for sewer, water, electric. Yes there will be electric in the island but not water.
