New house update #2: laying the foundation

Friday 7/20: Beams being excavated.  Steel cages being assembled. Dumpster arriving.

Friday 7/27: Pouring 50 yards of concrete for exterior beams. Perfect weather for concrete.

Forms came off Wednesday. Rough grade Friday.  CMU starts Monday.

8/7-9: Interior drainage completed. Concrete debris picked up. Crawlspace rough grade. Begin CMU (which is those concrete blocks).

8/10: Crawlspace drainage. CMU started 4 rows lift.

8/13 CMU walls being filled with grout.

I got the app TimeShutter, which helps guide you in taking a picture of exactly the same thing from the same vantage point.  That will help make sharing progress easier, I’m sure.
