Day 16 - 99 and counting

As if the week hadn't been hot enough, Friday turned it up just a wee bit more. Thermometer hit 99, but  with the humidity, that "felt" way over 100. The foundation guys showed up at 6am ... sorry to our neighbors! He explained later that he just wanted to get as much done as possible before the heat got worse. Can't say I blame him. They did a ton of work ... set up all the forms for the walls. I may have said something similar to this in an earlier post - you'll have to excuse that, as I really have no clue exactly how they do the foundation. I'm pretty sure what you see in this shot is the forms, now in place for the cement to be poured:

Chris from Bob's crew was also here all day working on trim. He added the "water table" trim (thanks, Brad, for telling us what that was called!) - which is the white trim board you see along the bottom of the house where it meets the foundation. He also added the trim along the bottom of the gable and roof line - this has a name, too - I just have no idea what it is! I do love how it looks, though.
