Foundation Walls

Here are the foundation walls 

with the forms stripped off

Plan Scan

Ok, got a scan of the plan. The area where its marked walk in closet and most of the bathroom

are where our existing bedroom is. What looks

like a corner soaker tub is going to be a large

shower with 2 heads and a corner seat. Our closet now will become the closet for the front bedroom and that rooms closet and the hallway

linen closet will be removed providing added floor space in that room.

Here is the brick before I started

screwing the furring strips on. The

old 4x12 ruf cedar mantle has 

already been removed.

Here furring strips have been 

screwed to the brick. Furring 

strips gives me something solid

to nail the facing to.

A work in progress. The main facing is up

but the hearth front is not.

Here it is all done and pretty

Pump It Up

They used a concrete pump to pour the foundation walls.

Here Brad, (black shirt) Shane, (white shirt) and the pump operator

(grey shirt) place concrete in the forms. Took about 5 minutes for

them to pour 36ft of wall.

Seal Of Approval

There is a sign in our house that says.....

"This House Is Owned And Operated Solely For The Comfort And Convenience Of My Dog"

Misty added her autograph to the footings....... Cant wait to hear what Brad the job foreman has to say monday

Here the footing is poured and the upright rebar that will anchor the stem wall is in place. This was friday, the crew will build the stem wall forms monday morning and pour them in the afternoon.

Every Building Needs A Strong Foundation

Formed up and ready to pour. The footing forms are staked in place and rebar is drilled into the existing house foundation.

Then you wait...........

For the City Inspector.........

To sign off on the footings on your permit.

Then you wait..........

For the concrete truck to show up.
