We took this picture on the 28th of July, the footings are in!! The work looked really great, and here is what you are seeing, though it's probably self-explanatory...The little bump out on the side is going to be a root cellar in the basement, with the first floor bathroom and mudroom being above it. The little tube sticking up in the middle is actually a drain, in case there's ever a flood (unlikely, given the track records of the people we are working with, but when has the work of the human hand ever been proofed against the mightier hand of nature?! We don't need the answer to that question, it's strictly rhetorical. Besides, I think the answer to the question is in the drain!). The cement floor of the basement will slope very slightly toward the drain, as well. It's so amazing to see this progress coming along!
