Concrete Slab Down and Block Ready to Install

We were quite surprised when we visited the site on Saturday that the concrete slab was poured yesterday. It is still visibly wet but we are excited that it is at least down and we can get a better idea of the size of the first floor. Oddly enough - it looks much smaller than it should be. I had to do a double-take and check over the floor plan to make sure everything will fit - you know, bathrooms, a kitchen, etc.

I went back again on Tuesday to see how much the concrete had dried and if they were ready to start putting up the block exterior walls and what do you know? The block had been delivered and should probably start going up tomorrow. I cannot wait to see the house start taking form. Seems like they are moving along pretty quickly and should have the exterior build done within the next few weeks. We also got an update from the PM:

We poured the slab on Friday.  The next step is blocking for first floor exterior walls, then we inspect, then we will begin framing.  Once framing is complete, we will inspect the exterior sheathing and begin with the first steps of plumbing, HVAC and electric.  In addition, we will begin to install the roof and install windows.
These items will most likely take approximately three weeks.
