House: foundation wall forms gone
We stopped by to see the house/basement today on Travis's way to work. It was really muddy and drizzly, but we braved it. The forms are gone, so now we have concrete walls holding themselves up. They have black tar on the outside of them for waterproofing.

We ran into Keith and talked to him about progress, in lieu of tomorrow's weekly phone call. He said that the plumber will come tomorrow, then they'll backfill on Monday (weather permitting). They'll do some preliminary grading, so we'll actually get an idea of what our yard will look like. That will be interesting.

Lumber comes on the 18th. That's when our house will pop out of the ground. So fast! I guess I'd better get to work on selling our current house.
