Week 2 finished

Week 2 of our build is now complete.  Basically after a week we have a basement!
I talked to our Project Manager Kevin today and the plan for next week is: Monday work on plumbing and waterproofing, Tuesday backfill around the basement and lumber is set to be delivered  (but they've been running a day behind) and Wednesday start some framing.  Framing???  Ahhh...

Monday - standing in back corner of house.

Tuesday - Frames are up & walls poured

Thursday - frames removed, we have basement walls! (& 2 appropriately placed windows)  Austin's getting excited :)

Friday - Not too much different, appear to be working on some plumbing.

We also found a Facebook page for our community, so that's fun and starting to make it more real.  Andrew is starting to worry about building a shed (because we need that right away with a 3 car garage?!?!)

Too Menards was having a 11% rebate so we bought the boys' bedroom ceiling fans and made contact with a furniture maker to build our new kitchen table.  I've started looking for stools around our kitchen island as well.  Just not sure what will be best with a 2, 4 and & 6 year old.  Currently I'm leaning to these from Ikea.  But it's probably silly to buy them now only to have to move them.

Ikea counter stool I am considering for kitchen island

Right now we're spending most of our time getting our current house packed up so we can be out by the end of the month.  Planning to get most everything packed and into the garage this weekend with a POD being delivered the following weekend.  It will be super nice to have that house gone so we can't stop worrying about it.  Though we will miss it and our fabulous neighbors :(
