Footings for the Basement

I first blogged this post last summer.

Yes, we have news on the progress of the new house.

Over the last few weeks we did get some things started. There is a hole dug for the basement.


The footings have been mapped out.

.

And poured.

  WRONG!!

  Do you see all that space to the right of the picture here?

  The footings were supposed to go out 5 more feet.

So we had to break some of it up and pour some more!


We start pretty early around here!


The new correct footings are in and now the walls go up.


Now Big Ran and I get to tar the basement walls.

  We started this project after I got home from work around 3:00 pm in 100 degree heat.

Needless to say, I didn’t last very long!

Shafer looks pretty tiny in there looking for a place to raise his leg and relieve himself.


That is our 15 foot walkout from the basement to add a little light down there.


It has been a productive summer, slow but sure.


Shafer is always helping.

 He doesn’t want to miss a thing.

The plumbing starts in a couple of weeks.

 Stay tuned for more exciting adventures!!



More later…………………Sally
