we pour at last

I left school around 1:40 to head over to Matthew's school to go help out, because it's Monday. However, I look at my phone, and I've missed two calls from and 818 area code -- which can one be the contractor. So I called back (realizing later that I only mussed the call by 5 minutes) and it was EZ. He was calling to tell me he was at the house and they were pouring the foundation and was wondering if I was nearby and wanted to stop by. I had just the corner onto Bloomfield, heading away from the house, but it was only right there. So I turned around. As I pulled up, the big cement mixer truck was behind me and pulled up in front of the driveway.
He told me about that this was the last pour; they had started at 7 am this morning, and would be done in an hour or so probably. He also told me that the materials were to be delivered in the morning and they would start building the frame tomorrow! So more visible changes should be occuring soon.
He told me that I also have to meet him to give him the next 3 checks that are on the proposal. It's also a good chunk of money. Yikes.
