Basement Walls Poured!

A milestone in the construction process ... basement walls! Despite a near cancellation due to truck breakdowns, the pump and concrete trucks arrived this morning and made short work of filling the wall forms. The forms will get stripped on Wednesday, and then we will get to work placing gravel and plumbing for the basement slab.

Finished formwork prior to concrete.

Wall Forms

The walls are partially formed and will be finished tomorrow. Crossing our fingers that the walls get poured on Monday...

Footers = Done

After waiting for the lot to dry out enough to drive a concrete truck on (see photo from last post), we finally got the footers poured this morning. Which is a lucky thing with more snow and rain in the forecast today. Hopefully the basement walls will get formed while the lot dries out from the next round of precip, and maybe we'll get those poured as early as Friday.

Footers

Jay of Feris Excavation and Ross of RW Concrete braved the weather to finish the hole and lay the footer forms today. Weather permitting, they should get poured tomorrow.
