Backfilled but no Lumber yet

I went by the new house today on the way home from work. Took a couple pictures with the crappy camera in my cell phone.


Filled in the driveway and garage with gravel.


The ground has been scraped to a slope that is close to what the final slope down the side will be.


At the back looking into the basement. They've filled the basement up to just under floor level. Almost seems too high, as they still need to put gravel down before the finished floor will be put in (a long way down the road for that though). The sono-tube there at the bottom is the base of the one of the posts for the raised deck.


From the other side, looking into the basement.


And back at the front. This side isn't backfilled yet. my guess is that's because there isn't enough room to get a bobcat in between the houses, as the place next door is about a week behind ours. That yellow box to the left is I generator for electricity, until the actual electrical panel is in.

So we're a few days behind schedule now. But not too bad. Hopefully the lumber will be delivered on Monday with framers waiting for it!

Praying they can catch up and that the lumber arrives on Monday

All you need is a chinook or two and I'm sure they'll catch up quickly. I bet they can work much faster when the temperatures are a little less harsh.

I'm enjoying the progress reports...keep 'em coming!
