Well, it has been really crazy around here. Yesterday (3-30-09) the CAT arrived around 9 o'clock a.m. to dig out the "trenches" to lay the footings for the basement. Then around 3:30, about 16-17 workers began pouring the concrete using 2 concrete trucks, which alternated back and forth mixing and pouring. They worked as late as needed to make sure they got it all poured last night since we were expecting some "winter" weather today. It was a beautiful day yesterday, except extremely windy! It has snowed a little today, not enough to speak of, or stick...which I am more than happy about, but it is certainly cold. IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE SPRING! It should be warm! But anyway, today they are laying the forms so they can pour the basement walls. It feels so good to just walk out there and look and see that there is actually something tangible in sight. I'm adding another slideshow of the pics from yesterday and some today. Hope you enjoy. : )
