Here we go again!

WooooHooooo! Thursday brought another chance to dig and success; the frost had melted and they were able to dig our basement! On Friday they finished digging and poured the frost footings for the foundation before the end of the day! Que Bueno! Soooooo, I will check with the project manager tomorrow for the plan on pouring the foundation. I will also post some pics as soon as I can get them from Dad. (We left early last week for a long weekend at Okoboji). Last week I spent some time on the flooring. I might change the tile in the front entry way. I can not find a picture of it on the internet to save my life or I would post another poll. I am waiting on quotes from another store in town on the carpet and vinyl and wood. I also got a quote back on putting granite throughout the entire kitchen and it came in only $100.00 more than the low end version of Corian (Staron) so, I guess if we are going to make the jump from formica to hard surface we will go with the granite! This week we are tackling appliances, furnace, air conditioner, garage doors and looking at possibilities for stone on the exterior. I also have another appointment with the plumbing supplier to make some final decisions about fixtures. Again, I'll try to get some pictures posted of our choices. Have a great week and keep your fingers crossed for a successful foundation pour! Emily
