Foundation this year?

I'm not sure if they can pour foundations in the winter time in freezing temperatures. It seems that it can be done but I must say I'm a bit worried that it wouldn't cure properly. I'm sure it's been done before. Anyway, I emailed my "insider" and she told me that it's likely they will pour my foundation before the winter freeze and they will cap it.

Future Neighbours

I've been reading the forums at buildinghomes.ca. I found a few people on there who will be living very close to me in a townhome. I'm sure that by the time we're all moved in, we will have shared so much information with each other. Gotta love how far technology has advanced allowing people to communicate with each other. So far, I get the sense that there will be some very nice people in my neighbourhood.

First site visit

So I drove out to HMB over the weekend and walked around the site. I could only drive so far in along Cambrian Road so then I just got out and walked. They appear to be servicing the land and I'm pretty sure I figured out where my lot will be. Not much to see but still exciting nonetheless thinking that my home will be built there.

I've set up a site where I am uploading all the pictures that I'm taking. Linky

Facebook

I discovered that there is a Facebook group for Half Moon Bay people. Shocking isn't it? :)

The group is called "Ottawa Half Moon Bay Mattamy (Barrhaven)" and you need to request permission to join.
