Reese did not like the loud noise the concrete trucks made, so while I held her close, Kimberly from Allegro, took a few pictures for us. Here is the progress they had made by the time we arrived at 8:15 a.m.
This corner is the study. The powder room sits just outside the study. The opposite side is the dining room.
This is the front of the house - the porch/stoop.
The plumbing you see is for the powder room.
There were 8-10 guys working in synchronization. It is quite a fascinating process.
By the time we arrived, they had already gone through 4 concrete trucks. About every 15 minutes a new truck would pull in and relieve the empty one. The trucks that were waiting their turn drove up and down Buffalo Speedway waiting for Ivan (owner of the foundation company) to let them know it was their turn. I was pretty impressed to know all those trucks were circling for us. (I know - complete dork - but it was cool.) Reese liked the green one!
One of the workers had placed his boots between these signs - I just liked the picture.
This is the progress they had made by the time Reese and I left around 9:00 a.m. Reese was getting bored, so we left to run errands. I drove back by around 10:45 a.m. and it appeared the big truck was pulling out. At 11:30 a.m. the workers were having lunch letting the concrete set.
Matt got home around 5:30 p.m. and guess where we went first? Right, to look at the foundation!
He and Reese walked the lot. The concrete setting to the left is for the brick wall. The dirt between that and the foundation will be our side yard.
To the far left, you see the garage, then the kitchen. The punch out is for the breakfast nook which sits off the kitchen.
The middle of this picture is the great room. The part that steps down leads to the side yard. It's a long narrow porch area.
Reese and Matt were impressed with the work!
On Sunday morning we just couldn't help ourselves - we had to go back and walk on the foundation. We took the plans, some donut holes and inspected the property.
This was Reese saying "New house!"
It was nice to get a better visual of everything. Much easier than looking at dirt and rebar. They are delivering the lumber this week and will start the framing as earlier as end of the week!
Allegro says it'll take 6-9 months to complete the house from this point forward. Let's hope it is closer to 6 months!
