The Saga Continues

They are still working on putting in the foundation forms. You can see they are making progress.


Here are more of the forms they still need to put in.
This is the floor plan of our "walk space" (it is a crawl space that you can walk through). You can see all the footings that need to be poured. The pads for columns need to be connected to the rest of the footings.

More footing work

Work continues on getting things ready to pour the concrete for our new footings. The weather has cooperated for past couple of days.

More work on footings

There is a lot of work involved in building footing forms and getting the re-bar in the right location. They are continuing to make progress.

A new toilet

They continued putting in forms for the footing today. It is good to see progress every day.

They also redid our plumbing today. They got rid of the old leaky cast iron and concrete pipes. They are going to need to redo our plumbing at least one more time when we get our new septic system. That will be at the end of this project.
I guess the contractor felt bad about us temporarily losing one of our toilets because the house movers put a beam under it. Our contractor brought us a new toilet. It might be inconvenient to use especially in the middle of the night. I guess we could let the workers use it too.
The workers are using one of our outside plug for their tools. Their extension cords have lights on the end to make it easier to find. Now we have little lights under our house.

Started work on the footing

They started putting in the forms and the re-bar for our new footing today. We can start to see the layout of the walls of our new ground floor.
