So we were beginning to worry that we might actually not get backfilled this week as yesterday there had not been any visual progress made. The Jayman boys guessed that our house may have started the framing process by now but as you can see that hasn't happened so mabye one of the other houses is just taking a bit longer than expected. It's frusterating not knowing which of the houses being framed right now are the ones we're behind because then we could have a better guesstimate of the time frame we're looking at.
You can't really see on the picture above but there is no dirt backfilled right in front of the house or in the little rectangle that the deck will be. Although there is no dirt there I don't really see that being an issue for being able to frame everything and if it is it shouldn't be much work to put the dirt in. Although it was nice that we were able to get much closer to the foundation as there wasn't a 3 foot (estimate) gap on each side.
This was one of the days that my partner came with me as he was back in town and as per usually he was fretting about our yard size. He always seems to want to try to get a better idea where our small yard will be (it will be bigger than most our neighbours due to our house being built up but it's still a small yard). So after walking around the yard measuring it with his sandals he agreed that we'll have to wait and see....or at least wait till the next visit and I'll bet you he tries to measure that yard again. Oh boy...he's entertaining though.
When we got to the site I realized that although I had my camera it didn't have it's SD card in it so I had to use my camera phone. I was surprised to see that the quality of photo it took was not actually that bad.
