I am still very excited about the house.  The builder's representative said that it would be 75 days after the first nail hits the concrete slab... but then he was informed for "those big houses" it would be 85 days.  I'm good.  It's give or take a week.  75, 85 days. It's all good.  It's still about 3 months and that puts us at a Christmas move.  It's a fabulous Xmas present!
So last week the house was rough plumbed and just sitting there doing nothing.... I'm sure they were just waiting to have it inspected before getting it ready.  It's not a whole lot to look at - just pipes and that new flexible tubing that is replacing copper everywhere. 

Today we went out to lunch and on the way back we figured we'd go take a look.  I almost said, why bother.  I was there on Friday.  Nothing new had happened.  I wasn't really expecting anything at all.  As we pulled around the bend I got all excited - the big pile of gravel was gone!!  Something new was done!

The area was back filled and covered with that black plastic looking stuff. It's ready to go!  I walked around and the rebar is in place as well... Will it be tomorrow that it gets filled with concrete?  Maybe!  Hubby thinks that they will wait until they have a few houses ready and pour them all at once but I doubt that will happen.  It will take more than a truckload I'm sure to fill this bad boy.  I'll update as soon as we see cement there... I'll check back maybe tomorrow afternoon or Tuesday morning to see what there is to see... probably Tuesday because I need to go out to get some moving boxes... it's time to start packing!!!
