Progression

Our house is starting to move right along.  I have not posted anything in a while so there are several pics below to show what has been going on.  On another note as I went by the lot today our PM was there so I got to speak to him for a moment to give and get some updates.  I wanted to confirm that some last minute  change orders were in our package of supplies.  He also told me that our package is set to be delivered on October 14th :).
Footers poured, it was very dark and late when I took the pic.
Gravel base in place.

Over 3 inches of rain and we now have a swimming pool instead of a basement :(
Part of the sides collapsed in several areas.
Water finally dried up via the electric pump in the background. 
Some of the damage :(
Walls poured and forms removed.  
My future garage. 
Additional view
Sump pump in place
My daughter said this stake looked like a ninja, my son said it was TMNT Michelangelo. 
Plumbing started
Garage floor base pile and additional layer of gravel on construction entrance.
Sump with additional plumbing and waterproofing barrier. 
Waterproof barrier wrap in place.
The kid's bathtub has arrived.
Current view from the street.  
Not sure what the pipe next the basement egress window is for?
A little more grading in the back yard. 
Back fill done.
 It is starting to look a lot more like a a basement and garage than a whole in the ground.  Can't wait for the arrival of the package and the frame up!!!

  2. Looking good! Not sure where you are in the process, but for us - the most exciting part (so far) has been framing and rough trades! It's really starting to look like a home. :-) Good luck with your build!

    1. Thank You! We are really excited for the framing to start. Our kids are supper excited already and will not know what to think once it actually starts to look more like a house.
