Days 19 and 20 - Build Me Up (Buttercup)

On Wednesday of this week, Bob's guys kept going on framing where they could (waiting for the foundation to be ready), as well as window trim. I now know what ours is called - "908 Casing" - might come in handy if I'm ever having a conversation with someone about window casing (pretty much can't imagine that ever happening, but I'll be ready!). Since it rained so much on Tuesday, we had to wait another day for the guys to come take away the forms for the foundation.

But Thursday morning, we were good to go -  we have a foundation!

Don't cross the caution tape, though!

The foundation guys came to "strip the forms" - and lo and behold, underneath were the lovely concrete walls of our new foundation. OK, so lovely might be stretching, but they sure do look sturdy.

Smile, Manny!

And for those of you who might not have gotten my reference, let me leave you with this ... one of my favorite Oldies ... and no, I'm not THAT old! This was already an "oldie" when I was in high school, thank you very much.
