House update

There has been quite a few up and downs with our new house. Over the past several months, we have spent several house designing our house. Our builder had pre-set floor plans but allowed us to change anything we wanted. We made a floor plan that we loved (eventually) after a lot of changes. Building was suppose to start the first week of April. Well April was a very cold, snowy, rainy month. Needless to say April came and went without any progress on the house. Two weeks ago, they called us and said we are digging your lot tomorrow! Yea we were so excited. Russ wanted to go check out the lot the day they started digging. I didn't want to, I thought it would be better to see it when there is more than just a hole in the dirt. Russ went anyway. He called me a few minutes later and said that they had dug on the wrong lot!!! Are you kidding. He called the builder right then. Needless to say they had to fill that hole and re-dig the lot on the correct lot then next day. After that was done, they poured the cement barrings. Well the next day we got a call from our builder, he was really upset. Apparently, the sub contractor dug our lot 10 feet off, meaning he made our front yard 10 feet bigger and our backyard 10 feet smaller. I was mad.  When picking out a house, I wanted as much backyard as I could get. So after what I assume was a lot of yelling at the sub contractor. (2 mistakes in a row). They re-dug the right lot in the right position.... Now the walls of basement are up and it is looking good. We can actually see progress. If no other problems happen we will have the frame up on the house by next Thursday.  Here is picture from yesterday.
