Foundations

So quite a bit has happened the past couple of days at the house. I'm sorry I didn't post on it yesterday, but I didn't really get any pics, and I sorta fell asleep before I could.

First, we'll cover yesterday, which for the crew began before 7am.  They set up some boards for the foundation and filled them with concrete to start the foundation walls, I guess you could call them. I've actually never seen this type of foundation being built before. I think it has to do with the red clay soil or something like that. If anyone has better information on that, please let me know. I don't want to feed misinformation. Anyway, this is the only good picture I have from that, showing the cement truck pouring the concrete when I got home around lunch. I know, it's not the best, but you'll see the results in the next few pictures

Today, they seem to have come by pretty early to remove the boards, leaving a completely dry concrete outline of the house and by the time I got home, they had placed what looks to be most if not all of the plumbing. Here are a few different angles overall. Feel free to click for larger pics.

And of course, a closeup showing some detail. Closest to the camera, you can see the beginnings of the master bathroom, and on the far side are the pipes for the kitchen and utility room.

Okay, so I don't know what's up next, but I'll definitely keep you updated! Until next time!
