From Margaret's Blog for today:


Our little house now has a footing. Whoooot!



Footings!

The big black pipe in the back is for the sump pump in case the basement ever floods. It will be cut off at basement floor level. We will have new sewer all the way to the street --which is good. The old Terra Cotta pipe was ready to collapse. And next year, when they put in new sewer in the street, we would have had to upgrade any way.

The wall forms are being made as we speak.

After nine months of waiting and waiting and waiting --this feels so good. Can you tell the house is only 600 square feet?! We are doubling its size with a full basement.... And a second bath downstairs.

Life is good.
