The building has begun!!!

The Tomaszewski Crib is officially underway!!! The grading and retaining walls are done and the actual building of our home has begun. After weeks of waiting the weather has finally cooperated and today when we pulled up there was the chalk outline of our home on the dirt slab. It is pretty surreal to see the house laid out on the dirt. It looks like it is going to be a big house.

They have already begun trenching the footprint for the plumber and foundation crew. It will probably take a few weeks for the plumber to lay all of the plumbing and then the foundation crew to lay the rebar and pump the concrete. Once that is done we will have our pad!!! Here is a picture of them digging the trenches.

In the picture above the part that is trenched is the garages. The one to the right is our main garage and the one to the left in the back is our "toy" garage. It has a 14 foot door and goes back 28 feet!!! It will be Chris' man room...I think he has already been saving so he can fill it with his "toys"!!!

Chris and I will be heading back to the lot this afternoon to see more of the progress and take more pictures so stay tuned.
