Surprise! I got home today and found out my DH upgraded to 9 ft walls in the basement. This was good for two reasons: one, we wanted this originally but cut it out to save money and two, we needed more fall to our existing septic system. Having more fall means there is less of a chance for us to need a separate septic tank for solids (yuck) or a pump. I am happy for the headroom, too. We are an extremely tall family...not!
They had some problems with our walkout area, so they had to bring a backhoe in to dig it out even further. This is the only side that needs work, so as of today they will do that tomorrow and pour the walls Friday. They will leave the forms on all weekend, remove them Monday, and then backfill next week. We are looking forward to getting the house framed and getting the roof on before it gets too cold so the shingles seal. M's parents also built a Wayne Home and had some issues with that, so we want to watch that closely. It was a long time ago And building practices / materials have changed since then. Hopefully this won't be a problem.
