We haven't gone through all our mail yet, or unpacked all our bags either. But we have the footing for our new house finished. We spent all day(91/2) hours getting it done so that the walls can start on Monday. Dean had plans to go fishing this evening after the concrete was finished, but he had to postpone the trip as he was just to tired. Colton got out of the van when we got home, and one of his friends rode up on bike and invited him to the pool. He didn't even have supper. He just changed and off he went. Oh, the power of youth.
Pounding in the stakes of the footing.Dean and Colton work really well together. Dean is an amazing teacher and Colton is a great student.
Cutting the rebar for in the concrete.
The frame is finished. Now we have to wait for the big cement trucks.
It didn't go well at the beginning. The truck coudn't get all the way around the hole and so the guys had to shovel, and shovel and shovel the heavy cement. There were times the just had to stop to rest.
Dean hired our nephew Mathew to help and he was such a great worker.
The cement dude. He stayed late in the day on a friday to make sure the concrete all got poured correctly.
The princess. Spent all day overlooking the project and helping out whenever she could.
We did whatever we could to get the concrete closer so they didn't have to shovel quite as far.
Working in this mucky mess was not fun. Every step was taken carefully so as not to slip. There were many times that the boots got stuck in the mud.
Almost done!
