Next step: Insulation

Image
We stopped at the building site to show our daughter the foundation and were there to receive delivery of the foam insulation that will go around the foundation.  It was exciting to get the stuff delivered but not as exciting to receive the bill.  It was not included in the original estimate but apparently it is code to maintain energy efficiency.  Once this gets attached the site will be backfilled which will be great because then we can get closer to the building.  Right now there is a deep ditch all around and a plank to get across.  Not willing to break a leg to get inside! On the plus side, I am finding lots of good rocks for landscaping! Thomas and David Howard (our architect) consulting on the backfilling and grading that will happen.  The man from Perkins said he used to fish in the pond next door.  Everyone who comes out to the site remarks about what a nice location it is.
