Yes update with photos too! Perhaps they cut his internet connection too? |

Heh... not much progress over the holidays unfortunately. They finished the foundation and the framing starts tomorrow. The contractor said it was the toughest foundation he's ever done but it should be pretty routine from here on out. I get my washer and dryer back this week! Latest pics are attached... |

How come they did block rather than a poured foundation? |

The blocks aren't concrete - it is some space age blocks from the future that are part concrete and part something else. They are lighter and denser so I'm told. The front corner in the first pic looks incomplete because they are installing back stairs in that area. They left a few blocks out so they could join the stairs later on. That corner is actually going to be an outside porch area with a roof (4.5' x 3.5'). Of course I insisted that the basement be as large as possible so underneath the porch is usable space in the basement. ;D |

Alright guys - here is the near final floor plan of the basement. The only difference is that the oil tank is coming out and the laundry area is being moved to that location. |
