Small details, big difference

While it might seem like small details, the next week gave us a stable base for construction. Pipes were set for plumbing...

Backfill around the foundations (black tar is the weather proofing process). Notice the huge window wells--we were fortunate one day to find a great deal on windows saving is tremendously and at the same time nearly doubling the size and style!!

Pouring the basement floor was the crowning event--its functional and completes this phase. As we watched the laborers it was fun to see them "skate" around with boards strapped to their legs and held in their hands--a dance of sorts.
