Verna and I went out to the construction site where our contractor is building our new house. I walked up the little hill at the east side of our property and snapped images of the site. We were there at roughly the same time each day, Monday through Thursday, mid to late morning.

The top panel in the composite image is of the work done on day one, the day of the groundbreaking. The entire foundation trench was already complete. This time of the year in Arizona, they get to work early and get the work done before daytime temperatures become very hot.

The second panel, day two, shows the nearly completed form for the foundation concrete pour. The crew used a level laser projector to ensure the forms were all at the same height.

The third panel, day three, shows the completed foundation forms and the rough blackwater plumbing. We asked for a blackwater dump to be available for our RV pad so it is available outside the foundation behind the master bath. You can see the sewer vent (the long vertical pipe) extending upwards near the RV connection just outside the foundation.

Today, day four, we stopped to get a final panorama of the progress. Inside the frame, the ground has been leveled in preparation for the concrete slab to be poured.

Verna and I are headed back to California for a few weeks to take care of personal business and family matters. We plan to return to Arizona after the Labor Day Holiday to track progress and to continue with the transition to the Copper State.
