Weekend Three

Saturday morning, the guys started bright and early so they could meet the concrete trucks!  I have to say, I was really impressed with the concrete company we are working with.  The drivers were on time (a little early, actually!) and very polite.  So far, I would highly recommend them.

Finishing the concrete and making it look pretty.  This part is pretty time-sensitive because the concrete starts setting up and gets a little more difficult to work with.  It's a good thing these guys move fast!

 

Dustin is adding rebar to give the walls strength.  You may already know this process, but I'm learning something new every day about home building!

We took a little "break" so the concrete could set up and came back to start stripping the footing forms.  Looky there!  It's starting to look like something...

Just in case you were wondering where the boys were....they were busy building forts, digging, and generally being boys.  It's a wonderful thing to see and quite entertaining.  There just wasn't as much "work" they could help with this time, so they made the most of it...and they were WORN OUT (and the big boys were, too)!

The next step is tying rebar and setting up these forms for the walls.  That's what you have to look forward to seeing next week, folks!
