1/5/11 - Our foundation has been poured!

What an exciting day!  Grandma Howe is in town this week and we decided to drive by our lot to see if they have made any progress.  The foundation walls have been poured and the concrete forms have already been removed. 

Some details about our basement.  We have opted to have 9 foot ceilings in the basement, and the basement will be unfinished.  We plan to finish the basement on our own sometime in the future.  However, we did choose to have the builders pre-drill the piping and drains for the bathroom that we will add in on our own.  The basement will be the full size of our house, minus under the garage and under our front porch.

Here is a picture from the North West corner of our house.  This is where our 3 car garage will be.  It's a tandem garage so from the front of the house it will appear as though we only have a 2 car garage, but there is an additional space behind the front 2 spaces. 

This is a picture facing the back of our house.  You can see that we will have 2 windows in the basement on this side of the house. 

And here is a picture from the front of our house where you can see our front porch and our garage.
