More pouring done

I stopped by the site today on the way home, not expecting much of anything since we'd been told that framing won't start until next week. As I approached the site, everything looked the same, but just as I was about to drive by, I noted large truck tracks in the gravel of the driveway-to-be, so I stopped. I noted that a hand-held tamper which had been on the porch was gone, too. I walked up to the garage and lo and behold, the floors have been poured. So the foundation is now complete. I didn't notice if the marked sections that I wrote about earlier had been fixed (I can't even say why they were marked or if they were marked to be fixed or for some other reason).

There are wooden boards at the edge of the garage floor, which I presume will be removed, and a smaller board was nailed to the top of the hole made for the stairs to the basement - so there is now a place to put actual stairs. Aside from these things, nothing else has changed, but it was a good step.

I did not visit the site yesterday, so I'm unsure if the work was done today or yesterday, but I think it was today - the concrete, even that in the shade, was still warm, curing. So, framing can now start any time!

In other news, the house next door had its siding delivered, so they may start putting it up any time. The last time we went into it, the drywall was nearly done, and the only thing that I think was being done was second and third coats on the taping. I can't wait until our house is at that stage.
