The builder has apparently started the foundation. It looks much larger than we were expecting it to, and the wide angle lens here makes it even bigger. Mrs is standing just to the side of the garage opening; the segment directly above her will be the front porch.
The lender is still fucking around and we haven't closed on the construction loan, yet. So, the framing is on hold until that clears up. But, we can at least see where the house is going to sit. And the lot looks ten times smaller now.
But check out that red red soil! Crazy.

Oh no! Your wife will be crushed when the builders remove the braces that are holding the construction up in the air like that.
did i mention that the architect is Escher And Sons ?
It’s funny, there is actually an optical illusion in this photo, a trick of perspective if you look at it the right way, because the viewer doesn’t necessarily know the size of the foundation — you can imagine it a little smaller than its true size and hence closer, floating above your wife. The absence of a shadow is a little jarring but then it could be an undead foundation.
(And also: this photo three times in a row could be titled, “The Foundation Trilogy”)
the weird perspective helps, too.
i was standing on a big pile of fresh gravel.
