There has been some progress in the past couple of weeks since our last post. Before the progress was seen, though, the area suffered a severe windstorm stemming from Hurricane Ike. There were 75 mph wind gusts and lots of trees came down. Thousands of people were without power- some for more than a week- but we were thanking God that nothing happened to the homesite other than a rotten tree falling over and needing to be cleaned up. A little work from Jeremy and his best friend Chuck and the tree is no longer a problem. And while they were there, a few pictures were taken to show what had been done since the last time we were there. Woo Hoo- isn't progress wonderful?!?!
More gravel has been brought in to help fill in the grade up to and around the house...
Another view of the gravel on the driveway in front of the house.
The gravel has been poured in to be level with the entrance to the garage. The floors will be poured soon!
Here's a view of the gravel that fills the space at the front of the house where the porch will be placed- you can see the basement brick has been tarred, too for further waterproofing.
And here is a view of the gravel that fills the drainage around the house near the walkout in the basement. More gravel was also put into the basement to help finish it out before the floor is poured. So there you have it! The next step involves putting in the steel support beams, pouring the floors, and then framing out the actual structure! We just got a call today telling us that they are starting that this week and the digging for the septic tanks will begin this week as well. I'm excited to see what has been done by the next time we go out there! Until then, take care!
