Not bad Bob. Footings and earth work are always slow. Once they have good access, and the wood butchers show up, it will go alot faster.

Yippee. My fav thread. Bob, it will so fly now for awhile. If it was a track home, they would frame this in 2 days. Yours will take 1 week or so. It'l boggie now.:trumpet:
