Foundation

On September 23, exactly one year from the day I bought the land, the groundbreaking is done, the footing trenches are complete for both the house and the shop, and the under-slab plumbing is in,


The house, seen from the back



That's a toilet and a bathtub you're looking at.


The Shop


Next comes a plastic vapor barrier, a four-inch layer of sand, and rebar.



These guys really get into their work!  They're standing in my dining room.












Couple more trucks on the way for the shop

And here's the shop.

Next week, we'll get the porch floors and a parking slab on each side of the shop, and after the concrete all cures a few days, framing!

Stay tuned!

    1. Shop should be bigger, since I'll probably spend more time there! Maybe I'll trade buildings before it's too late...
