Hurry up and wait - Foundation is coming inch by inch!

We got our poly plastics put on our lot on Monday and have been in wait mode for most of this week. The plastics look cool though and it's neat to see where the foundation will go.  It holds the supporting walls for the house.

Our water line inspection failed on Tuesday because the line had dirt over it so the inspector couldn't see the full length of the pipe.  It passed the next day and the sewer line is now covered again.

Too much dirt!  Can't see the pipe!

They have to leave it 'open' in the front while the trucks are still going onto the lot to dig everything.  That is done now so today they are finishing the forms and verifying the outline.

The next step for us is cables.  Then once that is finished the foundation is ready to pour and they have multiple inspections to validate the foundation construction. When they pour the foundation down into the trenches we'll have 'concrete beams'.  Very cool!

Our foundation should be poured by the end of next week.  The rain delayed everyone so many people are getting their foundations built right now.  Only lucky house got their slab poured yesterday but another 6 are in the same stage as we are.  4 of them have gotten their cables put in, We're next in line.
