Days 25-27: Brick To Grade

We got a good sneak peak of our brick to grade today! It looks really good. We weren't given the option to choose the brick color, I didn't even think to ask about it. It looks like it's a good neutral brownish/gray color. Of course, until they wash it I won't know but I like it so far! There is still a little bit of brick left to complete on the right side of the house. The did some back filling on the finished brick areas also, looking good! We felt the waterproofing, it looks like tar but it is actually really soft to the touch, I didn't expect that!

They also smoothed out the basement dirt and I'm guessing it's prepared for plumbing and then concrete. We have really good weather for the beginning of next week so I am hoping we see framing by next Friday!
