A Heck of alot of Concrete

We were away for the last week and while we were gone the concrete was poured and forms removed. And.....we faced the first "oopsie" moment. Turns out that the guys that did the forms made the garage over 2 feet higher than it was supposed to be. So now it needs to be fixed (which, according to Andrew, isn't such a big deal).

We went out there today and took a look around. The kids had fun standing where their rooms will be and we got a better idea of the actually size of the space. We also now understand why the 200ish dump truck loads of fill are needed!

This is what we saw last Saturday:





And this is what Andrew saw today:





LET THE FUN BEGIN!
