Word Project - Foundations

The footers were difficult to form due to the rock, again.  Some of the footers could be dug into the soil and other parts needed to be formed on top of the rock.  The inspection department allows us to chip the rock to a level area for the footers to rest and then we can avoid drilling rebar into the rock.

The footers were poured.  I took this picture and edit it to look "mini"

The forming panels for the walls are being set up.  Doing poured walls in the mountains is not an easy job.  The forms are heavy and need to be carried, usually down a hill and then connected.  Soon we will be ready to pour the walls but we have to do the pour in two phases due to the lack of space to work, park the concrete trucks, stage the forms and dig out all the excess dirt.
