House Construction Part 3 - Footers are poured

The concrete folks poured the footers this morning. The next step planned is setting up the forms for the basement walls on Monday. Then on Tuesday the walls are to be poured. This is all assuming the weather cooperates. For now the footers are to be cured in over the weekend. Once again I will plan on getting some media (pictures, eventually video(s)) uploaded when time permits.

House Construction Part 2 - Footers and footer forms are dug and placed

They have dug and placed re bar for pouring the footers around the perimeter of the house. I have pictures that I will post as soon as possible.

Just an update on the basement layout. There will be an entry door in the center of the front of the basement. There will be a window on each side of the door on the front of the basement. Then on the right side if you are looking at the front of the house there will be a 9 foot framed out area that will have two 4 foot doors that swing open for an 8 foot opening. The purpose for this area being framed out like this is to have the potential to put a 9 foot garage door in place of the double doors to have a garage in the basement.

The footers should be poured today after the footer inspection is complete. I will continue to post updates as progress continues.
