Unexpected Progress!

It has been grey, drizzly and miserable here for almost a week now so I wasn't expecting much to get done. The progress that was made yesterday and today was a very nice surprise! The forms for the footings are almost complete, tomorrow they will be inspected and hopefully Friday the cement will be poured. Josiah's crew has been working hard in the rain, wind, cool temps and puddles in the basement while Ron, his dad & Derek (our hired man) have been working on the driveway. The driveway was made last fall but it was really soft this spring, machinery was getting stuck, so they have made some improvements. There was landscape fabric laid down today and gravel hauled so by tomorrow afternoon the driveway should be in good condition. The visual evidence of the work done is below!

Thankfully our basement isn't as full of water as the ditch!
