Dad started the foundation Monday! I went over there Monday after school, from what I could tell they measured the corners off and leveled out where the foundation will set.
Dad would smooth out the dirt and Armando would measure to see if the string was the same distance from the ground every few feet. They kept doing this until it was just right.
Just a random picture of a saw.
Looking up the driveway from from the gravel drive. The whole drive inlined with firewood. Dad left me the materials to build a rack. I'm sure we will try to do that Sunday.

Today they set up the frame. I'm not sure what is it called. It's nice to finally see an outline of exactly what the house will look like and where it will sit on the property.
The next step is for the plumber to come out and run pipes and dad to set the footings. It's suppose to rain all day tomorrow, so that means they won't be able to Thursday (too wet). Dad said he didn't want to start Friday in case they didn't finish. He doesn't want anyone to steal the piping for scrap money. So looks like Monday they will proceed!
