Out with the old, in with the new...feet.

Someone somewhere probably said,"It's all about the feet." or perhaps something less thoughtful like, "If you don't have good feet, what will you stand on?" Well, to welcome the new year, we got new footings for our house.



All in one day the forms arrived, the workers came and arranged the footprint and the cement truck came to fill them in. It's exciting to finally see the footprint of the new house take shape on the lot. Of course, from the 2nd floor perch of our rental, the house foundation looks freakishly small and unfit to support even a fence post let alone a three story structure (...but I'm sure they know what they are doing).

As expected, Zippy thoroughly enjoyed the cement truck with its cadre of noises. He made every attempt to get outside to watch, and comment, on the activity.


If he gets smart enough to jump up on the chair to see out the side window, its going to be a long spring.
