Footings and Closings


 The digging wasn't quite finished yesterday, so they came back today to finish the forms and have the concrete delivered.  A near major mess-up was narrowly avoided as the garage footings hadn't been dug deep enough.  Luckily I caught the problem when I stopped by yesterday afternoon just before the diggers took off. 
 The footings were poured (just before the rain started) today.  Now you can see the footprint of the entire house.

p.s.  This week we finished packing all our stuff into a storage unit.  We moved into the in-laws basement officially last night.  Today also happened to be the closing on our house in Holden, and it almost didn't happen because we forgot to take out a few items from the attic/shed.  3 more trips between Holden and Auburn, narrowly avoiding bouncing my checks to the concrete guys (thanks for the bail-out Auntie Sarah), and an afternoon trying to get homeowner's insurance on a non-existent house filled out the rest of today.  It has been a hectic week....
