My mind is like concrete: thoroughly mixed up and permanently set.

Oh the joy to see progress. It has been such a long process already. After all, we purchased in February 2015 and ground breaking didn't occur until July. Drum roll here...... Ryan Homes has officially poured the concrete for our foundation!!! Now we can actually begin to visualize our house on the lot and the 35 foot backyard was a pleasant surprise. As a women, you can tell us something is 35 feet all day but that means nothing without a visual. While, if you tell a man (hubby specific) 35 feet, usually equates to trying to explain using football field lengths. Insert eye roll here. So there was a bit of walking through our neighbors un-fenced grass to get these pictures (oppsies) but I'm sure they would understand since they just went through this process.

Front of Milan. Garage will be on the left

Side

Back of the House. Everything within the black plastic fence is out lot. We have to figure out the weird pipe thingie to the left. We were told it wasn't in our lot. Also you see those blue lines of spray paint. We believe this is the level in which they will be pouring the ground back up too. Also, we have walkout basement, which of course we already knew. On the left side of the house is where the stairwell will be.
