Footers complete

footers complete

I went up to the site today and actually ran into Dave, our foundation guy, as they were wrapping up work for the day. They poured the footers and are going to placing the foam block forms for the foundation walls this coming week. He guesstimated that the foundation should be complete by next Friday (May 16th).

You can see the four squares in the center for the lolly columns, the lame metal columns that support the house in the basement. I told Dave that it sucked we needed so many columns since sometime in the future we'd like to have a family room down there. He said he was going to talk to the engineer about installing a steel I-beam so we can minimize the number of columns. Dave is a good guy.
