Shade,

Nice. I haven't seen a newly poured foundation before.

Looking good Shade. It must be a lot drier where you are, no ruts /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif Where is the soil from the hole? Any idea when you'll start framing? That's when things really take off /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

I have always told my wife that the first thing to be built was the garage.

The soil dug out for the basement is spread out around the basement so that the cement trucks could go around to pour all sides. They did not pump the concrete. The dirt will also be used to build up around the front sides of the house since we poured a little over 3' out of the ground. There will also be more dirt from the back side where the walkout is to come around front. I'm trying to keep the house & garage "high & dry".
The "I" joists should be delivered this afternoon for the main floor. They may start that initial phase of framing tomorrow. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif The drain plumbing was laid in the basement today. I may have another picture tonight.

This view from near the road. The cement trucks have really packed in the #2 & #3 gravel driveway. I think that it will be very solid /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif -I hope.
