Day 12 - Rain Rain Go Away

Progress
So as I said before after you have poured the foundation you typically have to wait 2-3 days on average for it to dry/cure....that is...if it doesn't rain.  About 24 hours after the foundation was poured Mother Nature decided it would be funny to rain hard on Thursday and then again Friday during the day.  Yup, I normally love the rain but I wasn't celebrating the rain that night and day.  To look on the bright side though I am very happy that it rained after the foundation was poured and not before as I'm not too sure how that would have affected them being able to pour the foundation period. 

When I went down to the house today I found that they had taken the slats (probably not proper name) from around the foundation off and added one 2x4 to the side (also found out I have a window!)...  well more than one 2x4 as they lined a few things with them.



While I was scampering around I almost slipped and fell on my face in the mud (which would have been comical).  One of the neighbours offered me to come on his porch to take a photo from across the street but I let him know that my shoes were caked in mud and he probably wouldn't like it if I left mud-prints all over (it was nice of him to offer though).

This is why he offered his porch...because my normal view is blocked.

This will probably be the past post though until Monday as I am not sure that the workers work on the weekends or not.
