Footings.......At Last!

I have footings!!! Whoohoo!!! The guys came in on Friday morning and worked like mad all day to get it done before the weekend. They suceeded.

First they finished digging the trenches.



Then they laid rebar and stationed it to be inside the concrete.



The cement truck showed up at 3:30.



Then the hard work really began. The guys had to work really really fast once the cement started to flow.

And right in the middle of all of this, an ugly cold front was moving in with a cutting wind and snow in the forecast.

But the work got done, and by 5:00 the cement was in and laid. The truck left and the third week came to an end.

So the footings are in and a great thing it is too, because..............






We had snow this morning!!!! We only got a couple of inches and it was gone by noon, but it was snow just the same and early in the year for such. Builder swears he'll be laying blocks on Monday whether it is raining or not. We'll see.........
