Yesterday at 6 o'clock in the morning, an army of concrete workers arrived at the lot and poured our slab. We now have a foundation -- an underground fortress of a foundation built to support our home on the sand and mud. For us, it was a cause for celebration, a victory in the face of adversity. And while we have many more feats to achieve, this one represents a turning point. And away we go! The rough-in carpenter arrives tomorrow and begins framing this week.
The photo above shows the slab looking at the front of the house. The lower level you see in the front is where the front porch will be. The photos below show us in our first family photo at the house and then our project manager dancing on his achievement.
