Footings

When D and I started designing our house we took the basic shell/outline of a plan a local builder gave us and drew it on the computer. We decided to stick with this perimeter because, for one thing, it helped us narrow down our floor plan options, and secondly, it is considered the most cost effective footprint for a two story house right now. We liked the basic layout the builder gave us, but tweeked it here and there to make it different from area homes. Once we got the exterior shell drawn we were able to design the placement of the interior walls to fit our needs. At this point in the construction we cannot see where the interior walls will be located, but we can see the outline of the exterior walls because of the the footings that were poured on Saturday. Take a look at the pictures below and you will get an idea of what the shape of the house will be.
