Drilling for the foundation



While we were in Dallas last week, the geologist came out to take core samples to indicate exactly how deep and where the piers should be for our foundation. In Texas, this is a critical step for a long-lasting and crack-free slab. We were so excited to see the evidence of his visit!

We also set up the tripod for the camera with stakes so it won't move, enabling us to take a progression of pictures while the house goes up. Here is the first picture of the site with nothing on it yet.

Other than that, we sit and do some more waiting . . .the builder said he hopes to lay the foundation next week. Hmmmm waiting . . . :)

Chickens, dogs, gardens, trees, the new and improved plan for a permanent dock, all keep us busy. And with spring here, the wildflowers are prolific! More pics later.

Vaya con Dios amigos!
