I'm going to warn you.. if you don't like concrete, and you aren't currently building your dream home - this post might get a little boring. (Not that all my posts are that exciting...) I've got a TON of pictures of the concrete walls..and we were so excited that they were poured so quickly, compared to the pace of most things lately, that I probably took one too many. So I hope you bear with me, or completely skip this post, as I relive what we discovered on a visit to the lot on April 11th and 12th - yay weekend!

The forms are down, and we have WALLS! (Kinda) |
|
Earlier in the day the workers were still removing the forms and ties. |
|
Standing on the sidewalk, the walls don't seem that tall. |
|
We were perplexed by the rebar coming out of the top of the walls, but I think this is to help reinforce the porch and garage floor once it's poured. |
|
There are some interesting cut-outs where Styrofoam was put to allow for additional supports down the line. This is the front porch area and garage to the right. |
|
There's quite a bit of space between where they dug out for the basement and where the footings and walls were poured. |
|
The wet weather and lack of bright sun has slowed the drying process for sure. You can see where the walls have been patched or are still wet. |
|
This is going to be one of the favorite rooms of the house, at basement level - our main room for STORAGE! |
|
Looking down from the top left corner of the house - outside the eventual master bedroom. |
|
My favorite shot of the basement walls.. you can see the whole "house" from here. |
If you'd like a little more action.. check out our "tour" of the walls from the side of our lot.
Now if it will just stop raining.. we might be able to explore a bit. Or you know, take care of waterproofing, or maybe the slab, or something..
anything.. anything but rain.
Basement Walls, Complete! - day 85 of our build
