Hello - here are a few more pictures:

Here is a picture of the floor that was poured on Wednesday. (Plastic was placed under the re bar.) I should find out this week when they will start. Side Note: I took down some trees to clear the way for this and I even took a few from our neighbor behind us (with his permission of...
