Insulation is up

Thanks for the help Dad & Jon!!

Roof is on

It's starting to look like a house!  It's so fun to stop by the house now so we go all the time!  Things are really starting to take shape.  We can totally see what it's going to look like now.
ALY construction came to the house on Thursday morning and worked all day until 8:30 at night.  I stopped by the house at 7:45 a.m. on Friday and they were already there working. They made such quick progress.  They were amazing!
We still don't have power at the house.  So we have to keep hounding the electric company.  We had to take the construction crew 5 gallons of gas for their generator to power their tools. Hopefully, we will have power by Monday.  If we don't have power by the beginning of the week Kasey said he may have to make a phone call to and see if he can get them moving.

Backfill and lumber arrives

Foundation set

Yahoo I guess I can get lucky once in a while! We asked Kasey about the pump truck and they did not have to use it so that's a $1000 savings :)  We also asked Kasey about the cracks/crumblings in the foundation.  He said it is normal to have some cracks in the cement.  Basicly, he said, if you can stick a pencil in it it's fine if you can stick your hand in there we have a problem.
We are still waiting to get power.  We had the inspection done to get temporary power and we are now waiting for the electric company to come hook us up. We called the electric company to give them a nudge to get it hooked up but they said they hadn't received the inspection report yet so they could not hook it up.  Kasey said he would follow up with Wood County and have them resend the inspection report so we could get power for the workers asap.
I really like that Kasey will call and ask us if we have any questions and let us know what the plan is for the next week.  He is knowledgable and informative.  Thanks Kasey!
Next step is to waterproof the basement then backfill and hopefully start framing by Thursday.  Wow it could really start looking like a house soon!
