The Footings Are In

Our new header highlights our hard working construction crew. This has been a very successful week with the footings being poured this morning, just 4 days into the project.

At 8 a.m. the pumper rolled in and got into position so he could pump the concrete into the footings.

It is an amazing piece of machinery, able to pump the concrete high over any obstruction we may encounter.

Yes, once in a while I do pitch in and help when needed.

We were so busy we pressed Mary into service and had her bending rebar. She did a great job.

By eleven we had the concrete poured and just needed to smooth it off and insert the rebar for the frost wall.

Looking across the job site, we even had the sun come out and brighten our day.
I would say we accomplished quite a bit for the first week.
