Frost Footings and Foundation Begins

It's been a busy week and I apologize for not posting sooner. First off, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Enjoy this time of the year with family and friends.

Here is what has taken place starting with last Friday - pictures of the frost footings prior to us going over to Wisconsin Rapids for the weekend to visit our friends the Pearls. We also have pictures of our time visiting with them as we enjoyed the weekend back in Wisconsin - it's hard to believe that we hadn't been back since July of 2006.

These foundations are at grade level and will be where the stairs go to the 2nd floor.



Looking back over the site to the south.



Weekend in Wisconsin Rapids with Jeff, AJ and Gretchen.





The pictures below are ones that Shelly took on Tuesday, November 20th upon arriving home with Aaron from Gustavus.


I will take some pictures over the course of the next few days and post later as they've completed the foundations, insulation, waterproofing, electrical, water and gas runs. The plan is to backfill on Monday or Tuesday, then start framing and it looks like next week will hold out with good weather in the 40's. So, by the end of next week, the basic framed structure of the house should be in place.
