Default Help finding some construction sites/photos

Hey folks --

So I'm working on this project, and need to find some fairly specific residential construction site photos. I figured rather than driving all over the place and hoping to find something in the right stage of construction, I'd just ask all you CP'ers. Here's what I need pics of:

1) Footings (poured, but don't need to have the forms off). Specifically, I need strip footings (this is your standard footings that go underneath a foundation wall) and pad footings (the square ones that go underneath basement columns). If the same site has both, even better.

2) Foundations (again, poured, but forms don't have to be off). Specifically, I need a standard cast-in-place concrete foundation with a couple of beam pockets (holes in the top for where beams can go) and it should have a sill plate or ladder sill on the top (sill plate runs along the top and has anchor bolts sticking out; ladder sill looks like a ladder laid flat along the top of the foundation with the concrete poured down into it).

3) I also need a ICF foundation -- this is one of those ones where you stack what look like white plastic lego blocks up, and then fill them with concrete. Here again, I'll need one that's got beam pockets (holes in the top for where the beams go), and state of pour doesn't matter as much.

So... any of you in construction and/or live in an area where there's some residential construction in the stages I described above? I'd prefer in the NW since I have to trek out there with my camera and take some shots. I'll be heading out this weekend, so also preferably one that won't have much else done (e.g. no basement slab poured overtop of the pad footings) before then.

Thx in advance... feel free to PM if you don't feel comfortable giving specifics like addresses out in a public forum.

And when you're done doing this guy's work, can somebody come over to my place? The fence needs painting and one of my faucets drips.

You can get lots of pics like that if you go to any new community. There'll be quite a few houses in various stages of construction.
If you want to find ICF, go to an inner city community like Parkdale or Altadore. You'll probably see one. Too bad you didn't ask this a few weeks ago, I could have sent you to one, but it's backfilled now and framing has begun.

Lol... not asking for anyone to do the work for me (although if someone really wanted to take the pics for me and send them, I'd of course be much obliged)... basically, I'm just looking for areas to go and look for some sites in this stage of construction since I live in an established area and never really head out to any newer developments (or infills), so I have no idea where to even begin looking
