After pressuring the bank for 5 weeks, the appraiser finally finished his report which let the bank finish with underwriting the loan. Today, we took the next big step by breaking ground! I was amazed at how dark and rich the soil was. They finished digging the basement in one day and the plans are to bring in a backhoe on Monday to dig the footers. The basement will be block filled with concrete. The basement wall will be approximately 4 feet above the current front yard height which will place it level with the street. The front yard will be filled in and leveled at a later date. To make up some time, a second framing crew has been lined up to complete all of the framing in approximately one week. I expect the next three weeks will show significant signs of progress. We're just glad we finally got started!
Wow, so excited that you finally boke ground and are on your way to a new home. Can't wait to see the progress that will be made with the great weather ahead.
