It's time for an update on the house being built next door.
After they popured the footings for the house they filled it in with “class 5” (I think that's what Chuck said it was called) AKA rocks. Then one night a big truck came by and dropped off the forms to pour the foundation.
The next day they had everything set up to pour the foundation.
I think it's fascinating how quickly they do this. But since we really do have SAND a couple feet under the ground, they need to work quickly…because sand walls only stay up for so long. You can just watch the sand fall down the sides into the bottom. I wish I would have been around to see them as they put these up. It would have been interesting to see.
*On a side note…I am going to warn you…I have created another category on the right sidebar. This is for Glendalough. Which is the neighborhood we are in. I have all sorts of things I want to include in there. For now it will be about the different houses and such. Mostly, I am doing this for an easy way to search for things related to the neighborhood at a later time. For instance, when someone moves in next door and might want to see what I have blogged about it…if they don't think I am completely insane…which I am sure they will! And just generally for things I want to keep about the neighborhood. Eventually things about the houses being built will not be online anymore (after they are all finished). And being the nosey person I am that wants to know everything about everyone's houses, I am going to post things you probably won't care about. 🙂 So beware! 🙂
