The foundation guys finished setting the forms this morning, the mud came at 11:00, and they stripped the forms this afternoon. I talked with Omar this morning to make sure they blocked out all the doors (they missed the garage door), and asked him to block out the entire dining room wall in preparation for when we're rich enough to punch out the wall and replace it with a sliding glass partition wall.
The only possible issue I see is the column dimensions on the side of the porch. It looks like they didn't count the thickness of the foundation wall when they laid out the columns, and they ended up 8" too thick, probably intruding into the 10' sewer easement.
It is very exciting to walk around inside actual walls and imagine the spacing of the house. This project has been very long already, and it's a relief to finally have something concrete (pun intended) to look at.
I emailed Derek about a couple ideas for making the elevator shaft taller, and the possibility of doing a second rear elevation with the deck added.
