Our Crew...

Today, we visited the building site and found our crew beavering away in drizzle and cold. What a fantastic team.... thank you.
Our base-footings are almost complete. Monday, the walls of the basement will be poured.

Step by step, we make our way.

With the temperatures dropping to below 50 degrees Fahrenheit and a near-constant drizzle after 2pm, we assumed that little would be done on our house...how wrong we were.

Our designer/builder emailed to say the crew was on site, pouring the last footers and creating the framework for what would eventually be the walls of our basement...

We got out of our car, walked to the edge of the excavation and the foreman looked up with a grin and said, "Well...your house survived Sandy." And, it has.

He went on to say that they would be pouring cement on Monday, when the forecast is for sunshine and mid-50's weather. In fact, that is forecast for a few days next week. If that happens, they will begin framing and this hoe in the ground will resemble a home before Thanksgiving.

Although this may not look like a thing a beauty at this moment...it does to Nicholas and me. This is a dream that began nearly 5 1/2 years ago...a dream that now begins to be manifest.
