Walls, We have walls!

With all the rain that our area experienced last week, nothing was accomplished until Friday.  Friday, Caruth set-up the forms in preparation for the concrete to be delivered Saturday morning.  Another load of gravel was delivered in order to better support the concrete trucks the next day.

Dave said when he arrived Saturday morning, there were 7 concrete trucks lined up ready to start pouring the walls.

Also the well digger was there ready to start on the 4 wells for the geo-thermo system.  So, Saturday and Sunday did see quite a bit accomplished to make up for the previous week.  

Monday, Jeff and Dave shopped for the supplies needed to install the electrical pedestals and started that step.  Also, Caruth returned and removed the forms.  Here is what the walls look like:


This view is seen as standing on the patio looking into the northeast corner of the house.  On the right is the retaining wall, which will act as a shelter for the patio and define it. 

Tuesday, Jeff installed the plumbing that needed to be installed in the basement floor before they spread the gravel over it in preparation for the floor to be poured. 

Thanks for checking in!!!
