House Project 2010: Week 3

The early pioneers used rocks for their foundations.  Jeff assures me that if our home has remained sturdy for 150+ years then it should be good for another 150 years.

But when I see the modern foundations of today, I start to have doubts.

The wise man built his house upon the rocks, but the wiser man built his house upon concrete slabs.

Basically, when the big one hits, we'll all be running for the new addition.

This back door/stoop will soon be torn out to make way for our extended kitchen and enclosed breezeway.

They had the foundation framed, poured, and finished within 24 hours.

First glimpse of our future carriage house.
