Homebuilding - A Rising Foundation

The house foundation has been progressing over the past week and a half.  First step was pouring the footers.





Then the blocks, sand, and mortar mix were delivered.





Blocks started to get stacked.





And the blocks kept rising, clearly showing the footprint of our new home.









Foundation work should be completed this week.  It's going to get exciting from here!
