The footings are poured!

Brian and Dave (our builder) hard at work!

Our firm foundation!

I know this isn't very exciting stuff for some people but for us it is progress! And yes Jesus is our foundation but next to that our house will be on the firmest foundation in Missoula! Truly! For some reason the county required us to jump through all sorts of hoops and make the footings extra wide and deeper than usual. When the inspector showed up, she was blown away that they had required that. She said the only place she had seen this kind of foundation requirement was in Seattle on very steep hills. We are trying to see this as a positive instead of thinking that we just spent thousands unnecessarily :o) At least we know our house is staying put and not sliding anywhere!
