After about a year or so of planning, revising and waiting we have finally started our dream home. Truth be told, I am more excited about the garage areas than anything else. Both garages are 26 ft x41 ft. One is for the toys and workshop area and the other one is for the daily cars, bikes etc.
There is a Port Cochere (shown in the plans) that will be the entrance into the garage courtyard if you will. I wanted to create a space that was private even with all of the doors open if I wanted. I did not want anyone to see what was in the garages from the street.
We broke ground on June 10th and things are moving along nicely. Excavation is complete, footers are poured and they are in the middle of setting up the concrete forms for the basement / foundation.
Obligatory celebration with the wife and I (Sparkling cider for my daughter)
This is from across the street, this is the day they broke ground.
This is later that day, took the wife and kid back to see the progress.
In the foreground, this is looking over the attached / daily garage that is towards the back of the house.
In this pic, the footers are done. If you look close at where the excavator is on the left side of the pic, you can see the footers for the front garage and right to the left of the house in the background you can see the footers for the back garage.
Again, right near the excavator you can see the footers are poured and they are now putting in the forms.
