Wow, that didn't take long! Now we have a firm foundation we have walls - if for now just the basement walls. This was the first time I went onsite while the workmen were there working, just so they get used to me showing up every day I guess! It wont be long before I'll have to bite the bullet and go and get a hard hat - or even buy my own!
First up - they brought one of the big stacks of wood on to the front yard - the one that was opposite our neighbors house - I'm guessing that it's going to be gone pretty quickly - considering there is another 3 big similar crates AND the roof up the road!

Next up - Our basement walls - the outer panels around the garage show the height (i.e. walk up from the garage floor) to the house, and the approximate ceiling height of the basement.
Looking at the option list, our basement includes 8'8" height as standard - it says "please consider purchasing option 070 - adding 1' to height if you intend to finish the basement". I'll say I did start freaking out a little bit - but right down the bottom, it says "Options 070 and 071 are included at no charge in Hasentree.". This is course made me calmer - and found that option 071 is a "Foundation Membrane System" - a small part of me thinks that a), you'd be foolish not to get it, and b) shouldn't a basement include it anyway??
To prove I was onsite while they were working I took a video - unfortunately no Spanish singing but I'll try and get some next time!
