We’re building a new house. Here are some of the construction stories.

Foundation Pour – 3/21/2024

Posted on July 5, 2024July 4, 2024by hogan

We’ve finally arrived at a monumental day. They are pouring concrete for the foundation of the house. Everybody in the neighborhood was very curious as to what was going on. Including this deer! The guys had been working hard getting the forms set and ready. I had mentioned previously about how much work it takes … Continue reading “Foundation Pour – 3/21/2024”

Assembling Foundation Walls – 3/19/2024

Posted on June 29, 2024June 26, 2024by hogan

Now that the short wall is done and the footer has been poured, its time to assemble the foundation forms. These are put together to form the foundation walls of the house. They come in on large trucks waiting to be assembled. Most of the trucks are filled with the forms, but there are areas … Continue reading “Assembling Foundation Walls – 3/19/2024”

Short Wall – 3/12/2024

Posted on June 27, 2024June 25, 2024by hogan

I had mentioned previously that the hole for the foundation needed extra digging. That also meant that we needed more rock for the hole. Today with the rock there, they were pouring the concrete that would be the support wall for the full foundation. It is better to spend the additional money now on the … Continue reading “Short Wall – 3/12/2024”

We Have Rock – 3/4/2024

Posted on June 18, 2024June 17, 2024by hogan

It looks like the majority of the rock has been delivered. This includes the extra rock that was needed to shore up the foundation due to poor soil. It won’t look like much to you, but it was sheer joy for us to see more progress. There is an upper and a lower part as … Continue reading “We Have Rock – 3/4/2024”

Cleared Orchard and Gravel – 2/13/2024

Posted on May 25, 2024May 24, 2024by hogan

I came out to work from the shed today. When I arrived, I found that the excavation company brought the backhoe to the orchard and pulled out the remaining large trees. While it saved a lot of work, it wasn’t exactly what I thought I communicated for them to do. Most of the debris was … Continue reading “Cleared Orchard and Gravel – 2/13/2024”

No real construction to speak of. Just some back filling against the foundation.

Hole In The Ground – 2/8/2024

Posted on May 8, 2024May 5, 2024by hogan

It feels like we’ve been waiting forever, but construction feels like its finally started. We’ve owned the land for a while and they finally put a big hole in it! By that, I mean digging the foundation. Is it perfect, sadly no. They found non-virgin soil in part of the dig. This means that they … Continue reading “Hole In The Ground – 2/8/2024”

March Weather – 2024

Some exciting construction has begun. The foundation is laid out and poured. This one is longer than previous ones, so use the chapters to get to the interesting stuff 🙂

The Branch Fell – 12/20/2023

Posted on March 31, 2024March 24, 2024by hogan

The branch that we unsuccessfully cut a few weeks ago is finally on the ground. Hogan did get up there last weekend and hand saw it until even the hand saw he had couldn’t get any farther. Luckily nature finally got the best of it and its down. Seeing it on the ground, it is … Continue reading “The Branch Fell – 12/20/2023”

February Weather – 2024

Posted on March 28, 2024March 24, 2024by hogan

Finally, some construction. They started and finished the excavation of the house. A neighbor told me that the truck towing the backhoe couldn’t get up the snowy road without help when they finished. Sure wish the camera was pointed on the street to see it that day! Hogan Haake
