The big trucks are starting to arrive. The footings were poured late last week and have had enough time to cure. They will be pouring the rest of the foundation and the fireplace wall in one pour. The foundation pour was delayed because we were trying to determine the best way to build the fireplace wall that Kenner and Stephanie of Architectural Nexus designed. It's a 24" thick wall that extends up to the bottom of the second floor. It's a bit difficult to construct but will be beautiful in the end and it gives us a surface in our living room besides sheetrock. We really like the idea of having an exterior material as an interior wall. We ordered Pella windows on friday, they are beautiful wood clad windows, no vinyl here! They will be here in about three weeks and will be ready to install by then according to Benchmark. Thursday we'll have an update on framing. -Jacob-
