Foundation poured



I have added these 3 pictures to my blog but haven't figured out how to move them to the bottom of this posting so they are out of order. Here's that big pumper truck going over the house.
























Yesterday, Tuesday, September 4th the foundation was poured. They had a huge crane-like thing that the cement was pumped into from the cement trucks and then they moved it around as it filled up the forms. It took three cement truck before they got through. Some of the other guys would use rods to make sure there were no air pockets and that it filled in all the way.



The next day they removed the forms and as you can see Ellis has already started to seal the bottom part of the foundation with that black stuff. I hope this description isn't too technical for all of you lay people. Things are starting to get going and you can almost imagine how it will look when it gets done.
