A site to track our progress as we build our FirstDay Cottage Canadian house kit. Come on in, get a cup of coffee, set a spell and follow along on our journey or join in if you like. Check back for the weekly update (usually by Wednesday when things are going right) to see what we are currently up to!

And Away We Go!

Well, the footings are in. I took a ride during lunch today up to the property to take a look at what they had done.

The footings for our house

They really are nice footings. I guess they were there until 7pm or so Monday night hammering the ledge out so they could get started with the footings Tuesday. While I was there today they were backfilling the footings and drains with gravel.

Filling around and inside the footings with gravel

They expect to put up the wall forms on Monday and pour them on Tuesday, which means that we will need to do our plumbing for the DWV (Drain/Waste/Vent - the line out to the Septic tank and the in slab plumbing for the master bath) and our in-slab radiant heat next weekend so they can pour the floor the week after that, before we get started building. Va Va Va VOOM!
