Our foundation

After digging a huge hole they filled half of it up with dirt... we were confused.  Come to find out they hit clay (this also happened to my parents) and had to dig it out and put in fill dirt and then compact the soil.  Our house ended up being a few feet higher up than anticipated but will make the walkout basement really nice (glass half full).  Here are pictures of our foundation...
The foundations (can you see how much higher we are than our neighbors?) 

The side view with the park in it as soon as we pull up to see the house the kids jump out and say "can we go play at the park?"  I think I am really going to like living right by it!

After our driveway was poured


The kids playing on the wood that will frame our house.
