Hill Country Home- Foundation

Well, after about 2 months of waiting, they finally started our Hill Country Home! Now after another month, the foundation is ALMOST complete. It has been such a learning process watching the building of the house (bringing back my good old days of architecture building systems- yikes!). Our house was on a bit of a slope, so we knew the foundation would be built up a little in the back- we had no idea our back foundation will be 10'-12' off the ground! Craziness! I guess our lot was more a slope than we thought! (But- it definetley enhances the view for us- we see right in the canyon now!) We will also have steps off the back patio down to the backyard- we will see how our dog Bella likes that! But, since it is so tall, they had to do 2 seperate pours of concrete for the foundation. The last pictures were taken last sunday and we have not been out there since. Hopefully they poured the final layer this week and they will start framing in the next week or so! This part seems to be going slow, but we were told that taller foundations add and extra week or 2 to the building process! I guess we are just anxious!! Will update more as it gets further along! Enjoy!
