Construction is contagious

I think they should rename our street from Crooked Lane to Construction Lane. In just our one block there are four houses including ours undergoing a substantial renovation much like ours and just this week the house next door joined the party. However, they are going a little different route than us and decided to just tear down the house and start over.. Yep, one day there was a house, the next day it was gone.. CRAZY.

4529 Crooked Lane, Dallas TX
Before this week

After..no more house
While it is sad to see the house gone that had been such a lovely home for so many years, it is also nice to see all of the progress happening on the street. It truly makes us feel that we are joining a neighborhood on the brink of a new phase and it's exciting to be a part of that.  

Construction vehicles line the street
And, just to keep updated on the progress of our house.. we are now pouring foundation! We received a green tag on plumbing and have been told that the progress will be fast and furious from here on out. We cannot wait to see the house really take shape.
Piers for foundation being poured
Sewer line marked. We learned we will have to put in a new sewer line.
