2007_08_08 Sub-floor - Deck support footers and Ready for drain field

The sub floor is done I think and now they are pouring the footers for the deck supports along the front and side opposite the garage side. Below is the view from the front of the house. You can see the sub-floor is finished. The square "hole" is where the elevator will be. The rectangular one toward the middle is where the stairs will go down (from right to left) from the 1st floor to the basement.


The picture below was taken when I was standing in the area where the dining room french doors will be.



The next one is from the great room french doors. Not much different, but here it is anyway! Note the back hoe and the bulldozer down there. I had 2 more from the master bedroom, but you've suffered enough for now. More later though I'm sure!

Basement from front of house to back. We'll probably wall off the area directly in the back and use it for storage. All these temporary supports come out later when the permanent support posts go in.

Shadows and light. Barbara ought to love this one since she's into shadows and light!

There was no work today on the septic system since Jerry's wife broke her hand and had to have surgery today to put a pin in it. He'll finish up either on Thursday or Friday. Here is one picture of the area where the drain field will go down the hill from the back of the house. Jerry (Bailey) is supposed to finish up the septic system either Thursday or Friday for sure.

There is a guy coming to do some inspections for the lender in the next couple of days. He called tonight to get directions.

Once the deck support footers (see below) are done they will start putting on the deck that surrounds the entire house. Right now there are 14 holes that have had concrete poured in them. The ones on the garage side and behind the house are not yet done. The ones behind the house would get in the way of the back hoe, etc getting out and the truck that delivers the septic tank itself so those will be done later.

I won't get up there tomorrow since I'm going to take the Jeep to B'ham to get it detailed. It is really in need of some cleaning and shining. Rose and Merrill have a "guy" who does a good job so we're taking it to him.
