Catching Up




I've been playing catch up the last few posts, as so much has happened since we started. 2 weekends ago the footings were dug and concrete was poured. The footings are the code minimum 30" deep; I should know, I had to dig 7 of them by hand. I only managed to run into problems on 4 of the 7 holes. What's the saying, 3 out of 7 ain't bad? About 2 and a half bags filled each of the 12" diameter holes, and we placed 2 24" #3 rebar into each footing for support. We also picked up a significant amount of wood, which is currently being staged in the garage, waiting for a break in the action to be painted. My dad, Melissa's dad and Eric were all on hand for the pour. Melissa managed to make her presence known too.
