As I mentioned when first creating this blog, this is meant mostly to be a resource for us to refer back to if the need arises during the construction process, and/or 30 years from now when we want to look back and laugh at how crazy we were (or are). That being said, I can continue with my ramblings about our future pad that are probably insignificant to the rest of the world (hey, I'm not hoping to be on the top of the Technorati list here).
Yesterday our footings were poured by a crew of 15. The boys loved watching the crazy scene (see photo below), and I worked almost as hard as the workers (keeping the boys from falling into trenches of wet cement or off the edges of excavated walls) for the short time we hung around. If the boys weren't with me, I would have loved to be out there with the wheel barrow with all the workers!
Our footings were poured up to 7 feet in some places (where they had to be dug down to natural grade - see previous post). Preparations for the concrete-poured walls begin tomorrow, and they will probably be poured by the middle of next week.
See photos below of the process and finished scene:
