Foundation work, days 2 & 3.

The masons don't mess around.  These guys are total pros, and legit craftsmen.  Cyndy treated them to donuts & coffee in the morning of Oct 5, but that small token doesn't begin to properly express how gratified we are with their work.

Here's the official Mecklenburg County building permit.

Piers for the front porch.

These piers will support the "wrap-around" (side) portion of the front porch.

Right side of the home.

Garage interior foundation wall.

Close-up of the front porch left corner pier.  Gorgeous brick!

Cyndy said the interior piers look like Martians.  I prefer to think of them as a bunch of Atlas clones, standing strong and ready to carry our world on their shoulders! :-)

Long view toward the front left of the home.  Foundation almost complete!
