Addition by Addition

We cannot believe how long it took to get to this point, but we are finally in true "build" mode.  Our foundation subcontractor and our brick mason made short work of laying the foundation for the addition of the home.  We've already been through 2 inspections - one county, one bank -  passed both with flying colors and we are now waiting for the hook-up of our temporary electrical power. 

First, the footers - the first two pictures are for the rear addition, the third picture is the side addition containing a half bath and utility room:

 





The masonry followed the footers. 

Then the bricks...we think we matched up the bricks pretty well to the existing foundation - a little clean up on the old bricks and a little aging of the new and they should meld nicely:

Heres the brickwork on the smaller side addition:
