Positive SIGNS of things to come!

It's Wednesday night and thought tonight (on the eve of the site start) was a great night for an update. Can I say that our new administrator totally rocks (well, so far). She's very organized and on the ball, which is a refreshing change. She called today to re-confirm that the site start will happen tomorrow (Thursday, August 2nd). Additionally she had further dates of work to be completed as well. The site 'cut and fill' will occur tomorrow with drainage and pipes being laid after that. On August 10th, they will prep the site for the pouring of the slab (foundation) and the slab pour date is set for August 14th. The administrator explained that there are about 2-3 days of prep work prior to pouring the foundation, including boxing off the area to be poured, re-bar, etc. I was curious to know at what point during the building process the retaining wall would be installed. She said she would find out and get back to me. She called me back within the hour with an answer, stating that the retaining wall will go in at some point next week! Once we get started (tomorrow), we should have nearly weekly updates as things will happen quite quickly and we'll be checking on the lot at least every other day to see the progress.

To back track a bit, we went by the lot this past Saturday and notice some positive signs...actual Henley building signs had been posted on our Eastern fence, which was a visual confirmation we were going to have a house built there! Then yesterday, an even more positive sign, with the spraying out of an area where bricks are to be delivered, which usually happens AFTER the frame stage. Nice to see them thinking ahead! Check the signs out and then check back a LOT over the next couple of weeks to see ACTUAL progress on the lot!
