Foundation looking for a home

In less than 2 weeks we'll have our house on the foundation! On the 23rd of June four trucks will be pulling into our lot, each with a quarter of a house. The following day a "set crew" will lift and place each component onto the foundation. Once the house is on the foundation it'll take 4-6 weeks to button it up.

The really crumby news is that I won't get to see the setting of the house because I'll be teaching in Maine. I'm EXTREMELY bummed out. I'll be giving the wife and mother a crash course in photography and videography to cover for me in my absence.

Our GC has been in touch with other bits of info too. The basement floor should be poured today and then work begins on our septic system. Once the septic is in they'll dig a trench from the well to the house and complete the well (installing the pump, etc.)

I've been very busy traveling for work the past few weeks. While not very fun being away from home for so long, it has made time fly with this house thingy. I can't believe it's almost here.
