It's now a week and a half before the house modules arrive, so it was a relief to go to the site and
see that the foundation is now done. (Well, almost done. The floor still needs to dry.)

(Earlier pics here and here.)

5. Very exciting!....
Looking forward to the next pictures! You must be coming outta your skin with excitement. Congrats.

Didja write your name in the foundation? :D

I bought a house down the street from where I lived as a kid..and the sidewalk in front has my brother's initials in it. They did it when the concrete was still wet. Pretty cool to have it there still...

6. D'oh! We never even thought of that. Well, maybe we'll just autograph the
drywall before we paint. LOL

7. Before my parents finished their basement...
they let us write on a section of the drywall--they put paneling up---the 70's called and want their paneling back LOL--anyway we wrote on it, our friends wrote on it...for about 6 months. When they do the basement again, and take the paneling down we all get a piece of the drywall to keep. Pretty cool..

9. Thanks, Tikki! I can't wait to get those kids in their rooms. They are planning on having
loft beds, and are already planning how their rooms will be set up and decorated. :D

13. Trees all around. :^) There are neighbors off to the side but there's a stand of young spruces
that were planted to screen them. And the ocean is near enough to walk to. Plenty of adventures for two rambunctious boys to have. :)

14. Thanks, Tallulah. :^) It's nice to share good house things here instead of
stories about gushing water heaters flooding the kids' room floor, or how the furnace broke down over and over this winter. :woohoo:

15. My dear GreenPartyVoter!
Fantastic!

Now, I confess to being a bit confused...

Do these pictures show the basement? And then the modules sit on top? Or......?

Anyway, I'm thrilled for you and your family!

Keep those pictures coming!

:hi:
