Today they poured the slab for the house and the porch, and it was an incredible sight. All of the concrete was pumped in by an enormous overhead boom pump. The boom went from the road all the way over the garage and the big cherry tree that's beside it. One man was up at the site operating the boom with a wireless remote control while the concrete workers moved it about to place the wet concrete where they wanted it.
I've just come from there (it's now 6:00 pm) and I was walking around on the solid slab -- didn't even have time to run Matt down there to put his paw print into it! Tomorrow they will start framing, and we will finally be able to see what's happening from the street level. Up until this point you could tell that something was going on, but from the street you could not see what it was.
Here are the pictures.

Hi, Danny and Joe, I'm catching up on all your entries before the party later this week! I had never thought about putting the dog's footprint into the foundation -- I'm sure there was (or will be) some other type of wet concrete where Matt can make his imprint! And I loved that you spared that beautiful tree -- I can't wait to see it all up close at the house warming! Love, Molly
