Getting ready for new foundation

They delivered material to make our new foundation. The re-bar is under the plastic in front of our dirt pile. The lumber is in our old driveway.

You can see the lumber and our two dirt piles in this picture. One is in the front yard (behind the car) and the other is in the back yard. I still think it is strange to see our back yard from the front of our house.
Our contractor said they will build the forms and put in the re-bar for our new foundation next week. He hopes to get the inspection at the end of the week and pour the concrete the next week.
A plumber will fix our drain problem early next week.
Most of the dirt from our piles will eventually be put back under our house to get it level with the ground outside the house. The mud in our yard is really sticky. It only comes off your shoes after you sweep the floor or get to work.
You can hear anyone coming to the front door long before they get there.
