Foundation Walls Up


WE HAVE CONCRETE!!!

I've never been so excited about concrete before!  Well, besides when Brandon finished our concrete counter tops.  This is so awesome! WOOHOO!

As you will be able to tell from the pictures, we made big strides yesterday.  Foundation wall forms were completed in the morning and the concrete trucks rolled in about 2:15pm and were here until about 4:45pm.  I'm impressed with our crew and how quickly they worked!  Not to mention that they had to move a ton of concrete by hand using shovels to get the concrete into farthest walls.  Typically they would use a conveyor belt to get the concrete from where the truck sits to the farthest wall they are pouring.  These guys must have been tired by the end of day.












The pile of dirt to the left is where our indoor/outdoor patio will go someday.











                                                                                                                                                                                                                    





They have set supports that are in the wall to hold the rebar rods together and support the walls to stay up.

Everyone seemed to enjoy watching the trucks.  They were mezmorizing watching the red and white stripe spin around and around.
