Well I am very happy to say Phase One of this project ended on a very high note today. I came home from work before dark to take these six photos. You may have noticed that the day we got our permit from the City I took six photos in very specific locations. (Scroll back, you’ll find it.) Throughout the building of this house I plan on taking the same six photos periodically. We just wrapped up all “the dirt work” on this house. Our project manager keeps saying, “We are out of the ground.” Obviously the 38″ thick foundation is complete. But also all the drainage pipes have been run for all future downspouts and all site water retention issues have been addressed. It has been a muddy mess around here (dirt work in October and November) but now it’s done. The ground has been leveled and all the construction crap is out of here. Cleanliness is next to godliness.
