Weber Haus - Week Two - Footings, Forms and some concrete



































By Friday of the first week the footings were poured and the outline of the house was starting to take shape.  Of course not much happened over the weekend, and with Monday's drizzly weather there wasn't any activity then either.  But starting on Tuesday it was back to work as the forms for the concrete basement walls started to go up the inside forms were all up with the rebar reinforcements in place.  On Wednesday, the builders got the outside forms up and looked all set to go to pour the next day.  Which worked perfectly as Thursday ended up being the nicest day of the week, with temps in the low 90's instead of over 100 like the rest of the week.  I will say I was surprised on Friday when I showed up to see that most of the forms were down and the concrete all cured except at the corners.  Seems like next week will be slow as the plan is only to do the water proofing  Tuesday and back fill on Thursday or Friday. ....To the pictures

  1. Wow. Can't believe the builders were available and anxious to start building the day you signed the contract.
