A Strong Foundation

Stew had a pre-construction meeting this morning at our property and the foundation has been poured... super exciting! As the site agent warned us, the foundation footprint and the yard look super small at this point, and she said we'll probably feel like that for a while until everything starts to come together. But the framing will be up in only about five more weeks and at that point it will really start to seem like home, I think.

Right now it's hard for me to visualize the floor plan because the model home is a mirror image of how our house will be, and it's hard for me to imagine the floor plan backward. But once the walls go up we'll really be able to start daydreaming about our finished home.

Ever since King County Metro made huge changes to the bus routes back in September, commuting between Ballard and downtown Seattle has become even more of a nightmare for me. The other night I left work at 8:30pm and it took me three different buses, a 20 minute walk, and 1.5 hours to get home (have I mentioned we live 5 miles from my office?)

Needless to say, I am over living in the city!

I just can't wait to move into our lovely little home in suburbia, where my commute will consist of a quick 30 minute ride on an express bus full of other Eastside commuters. This house can't go up quickly enough!
