I will be the first to admit that foundations and cement aren't something I spend much time thinking about. Of course, I realize just how important the foundation work is to the long, healthy future of our house. This past week the foundation went from footing to poured and back-filled. Progress indeed! We did have our first real snow on Wednesday which created some muddy conditions later in the week, but the weather should be back in the 70s this coming week.

| It looks funny to see a ladder leading into the basement. |

That's all for this week. With three more foundations to be dug on our block we'll see what progress is made next. Until the next step! -Lynne
