Footers then Foundation

We've made some progress since my last post, so I figured it's time to post some new pictures.  The footers were poured two weeks ago, and this morning they started on our foundation.  It's starting to look like something, maybe not quite a house, but something.  Take a look!

Update: Our field manager Brant called us with some disappointing news.  I guess the angle of our house is a few degrees off.  One of he Amish men noticed this before they began the framing.  The Amish did not pour the footers.  We had the choice to have them start all over, but that could take a very long time and set us way back.  Ultimately we gave Wayne Homes the greenlight to continue with build.  We aren't too bothered that our house faces slightly crooked, but it would have been nice if Wayne Homes had compensated us for their mistake. 

Dig Day Success!!

Dig day was a success!  I'm including lots of pictures of the progress.  I know, I know, basically I took a dozen pictures of a big ditch, but it's OUR DITCH!!!  We're so excited!!!  With a little imagination you can see where our driveway is going to be, our living room, kitchen, walk out basement, sun room...  It's the most beautiful hole in the ground I've ever laid eyes upon.
