Basement starting to take form

As of Tuesday the crew had set up the wall forms for the foundation walls and were ready to pour. We've been sick this week and didn't go to the lot yesterday, so we'll try to stop by today after work to see progress. They should have poured concrete yesterday and probably the forms will be off by today or tomorrow. We'll be ready for framing very soon, assuming lumber is ordered/available (we need an update from our builder as he's been working on that). Some of our framing requires the use of LVL (laminated veneer lumber) beams and we asked for multiple quotes to ensure we could get a competitive cost on those.
