Still Up

Thursday the bolts that allow the wall to be attached to the foundation had the concrete cleaned off them. You can see the bolts are shiny now.
We also had a surveyor put an elevation on top of the foundation. The elevation of the foundation at the x under the flagging is 416.56 feet. The baseline flood elevation (BFE) is 422.5 feet. We need to be three feet above BFE. Our contractor is verifying what needs to be three feet above the BFE. It is either the floor or the duct work. This decision will determine the size of our walls.
These elevations seem small since I grew up in Colorado.
One of our neighbors has joined us on Jenga stacks. This is a view of that house from our kitchen window. When I look out I feel like I am living in a tree house.
