The Footings are Framed and Poured

OUT BACK DOOR

I guess I didn't get a good picture of the framing for the footings from the back door.  This is the first delivery of crushed glass..... but it shows the footings and foundation.

CORNER OF HOUSE

Can't see much here... probably won't until the framers come... or we get some backfilling done.

Footings and foundation... and only a little lake.

Elijah watching the men put up the footing frames.  If you look really closely you can see the window that Keith broke with the tractor... oops.  He still feels bad about that one.... but it is going away anyway.

This is the little pumper machine they used to pump the concrete.  Waaaaay different than when they built the house.  Then it was a huge semi pumper truck.

Elijah was totally fascinated.

This is Adam, the head concrete guy.  Totally nice and helpful.  He let us (and even helped us) put boards under their boards to save on concrete.  And he let Keith pick his brain on more than one occasion.  Very patient.

Adam talked the inspector into coming back the same day after concrete was poured.  This allowed them to come back the next day frame the foundation walls and pour them.

This guy saw me taking pictures and said, "We charge extra for pictures.  Are we going to be on youtube?!?!?!?"

Elijah sooo wanted to play in that mud.

So with the concrete they had extra and just poured in a pile next to the house, we made handprints and then decorated them with beads.
