House Update: Foundation & Framing

PROGRESS! It's seriously so fun watching all of this happen. Now that plumbing is in and all permits are set, we now get to start seeing a house take shape and each week will now mean that there will be something new to the house. It's already going so fast! 
They have us projected to be in our house by mid May. I am just praying it can happen after school is finished for the year. Ideally it would be awesome if we could have June's Dance recital done too but unless we get pounded by rain in the next few weeks, it's looking like May!!! 
That also means we will be putting our current house on the market soon. We have a huge list of things we need to do to get this house ready to sell. This makes my heart hurt a little. 
Let's get back to the exciting stuff. Well exciting to us anyway. 

The week before it was way too cold to pour foundation. I was bummed but Dan was pumped they didn't pour. It makes sense. We obviously want a good foundation. 
Later in the week the temp out side sky rocketed and they were able to pour the foundation. Then we had to wait for more permits to make sure our foundation was sturdy and past all their tests. 

The Foundation!

We were so excited to see the foundation be poured. 

One of our friends lives in the same neighborhood that we do, so he checks on our house for us. 
He sent us a picture of them FRAMING THE HOUSE!!!! 

Things just got real. This is happening.
We knew we weren't going to make it out to the house this Sunday because of different obligations, so Dan and I took our date night and headed out to the house. We wanted to see it for ourselves. I didn't get any pictures because it was dark and raining, but it was so amazing walking through our house. The house that we are building. That is custom to us!! It's butterflies in my stomach exciting! 

The first floor of the house is framed. We walked through and imaged how everything was going to be. y'all it is so weird and so fun. I mean it's so so exciting for us. And each week is just going to get better! We are excited to see what will happen next week.
