Leafwood home elevations

I thought it would be interesting at this point to post a picture of the architectural drawings depicting the plans for the house, to give an idea of what it will look like as it is built. But drawings do not do it justice...

Framing begins on Monday, December 12..temperature predicted to be-41 degrees...

 The I-beams are installed...USA steel...

The lumber package is delivered...

 Beautiful 4 x 6's

 I like what it says.."for a quiet, stiff floor"...great byline!

Just found out from Robert our builder that our sewer extension was approved by OEPA! Yay!

The basement floor is now poured-Monday, Dec. 5, 2016, temperature 39 degrees

The pumper truck was needed again due to the muddy conditions...one of the concrete trucks got stuck in the mud and could not get close enough to dump in the concrete...

 Pouring in the concrete, then evening and smoothing it out, making sure it is perfectly even and flat is a labor intensive process...

The piece of machinery is a large trowel the workers use to get a smooth finish on the concrete. Accelerant has been added so the wet concrete will set up quickly, before the rain comes..
