Foundation pour set for next week

Robert (Kincaid Homes) sent an update, so I thought I'd make another post before we have some pics of the foundation work:

The foundation hole was finished today.
Several loads of sand were taken out (I spoke to the Chad & Heath at Ground Contact excavation this morning & they said around 6 dumptrucks of dirt were hauled out.)

Foundation guy will be on site tomorrow about 7:30 in the morning. He is usually pretty quick, with cooperating weather we intend to pour next week for the footings and then start the walls.

The schedule of events:
1. Dig [a big] hole.
2. Pour foundation [footings & walls].
3. Backfill and compact soil.
4. Do underground plumbing.
5. Prepare for the basement slabs
6. Slab pour: This will be a pretty big pour because we would be doing the upper garage slab, the lower garage slab, lower living slab and the office/apartment slab.
7. After all of this we will start framing.

A couple pics from the dig this morning
