Footers poured - Day 20

We finally have the footers poured! I am not sure what time the crew left, but my husband will be very happy as he was getting very impatient (as was I).

Early morning bulldoze....Day 18

No interesting pictures today, but we have a new dirt hill and some 

Bulldozer tracks. We hope they pour the footer on Monday so they don't have to keep pumping water out of what will one day be our basement! It seems like they should want to get it done quickly too, so we will see.

Footers - Day 17

The crew was back and worked from about 8:30 to 3:30. They said their goal was to pour the footer today, but it didn't happen. They used Formadrains around the garage and the sunroom.

Footers - Day 16

PThey came today to start the footers! we were starting to get sad watching our (dirt hole) basement fill up with water. Hopefully we don't have much more "down time" now that we are getting started. It is going to be an awesome fall thanks to Wayne Homes!

I guess the crew was here from about 8:30 am until 11:45 am and didn't come back. Hopefully tomorrow is more productive.

Roll off - Day 13

Looks like we had a special delivery today. Here's to not having to go to the dump for awhile. ;)

Porta-Potty on Day 3

I came home to a Porta-potty delivery. Let's hope no one tries to tip it in the next several months!

Update- 1/9 - while talking to our electrician, he said that Schumacher homes does not supply a porta potty!!! I cannot imagine NOT having this on some of the long days these workers have had here. Thanks for going the extra step, Wayne Homes. The workers and homeowners appreciate it!

Welcome home - A Wayne Homes Surprise!

This is what our Wayne Home will look like! We were given this on dig day which was a nice surprise!

Wayne Homes Montgomery Craftsman DIG DAY! - Day 1

My husband took a vacation day and stayed home for our dig day because I had to work 13 hours. Everything went smooth and we got some really great pictures of the dirt moving fast. We didn't hit water or find anything interesting. I was hoping for gold or oil, but I guess I'll keep dreaming. They finished digging around 5:00 and told us it would be between 1.5 and 3 weeks before they would be back. Can you say anticlimatic? They said they have been very backed up due to our awesomely rainy summer. Although we were bummed, we were happy to know what to expect.

Our boys look so tiny in our basement!!

First scoops of dirt!

It had to rain after...

We are hoping to keep track of our build every day and to provide reviews of Wayne Homes and their subcontractors. If you have questions about our experience, don't hesitate to email us at OhioWayneHomestead@gmail.com.
