New House: Concrete

Of course, Grant and I like to make things difficult. The first picture is of Grant and Kerwin (one of our builders) marking out the sidewalk from the driveway to the front door. In the second picture you can see the concrete guy's formwork for our curved masterpiece leaving us with a nice landscape bed against the house. Also, you can see that the stoop was finally poured. The last picture features our expanse of concrete for the driveway. We're already "discussing" who's gonna be shoveling that this winter! :)

On Saturday, Mom & Dad, and Granny & Pa (Leslie's grandparents) came up to see the house and have dinner after Pa did a wedding ceremony down by the Missouri River. The concrete was all dry, so we were able to go inside, take a look around, and get the "real" approval on the framing inspection from Pa. Both my dad and grandpa have extensive framing and remodeling experience, so it was good to know that they approve! :) It was the first time Granny & Pa had seen the house in person, and they aren't able to check pictures on email or online, so it was pretty fun to show off our construction project!
