We're (hopefully) minutes away from the arrival of the concrete. A truck is coming down from Raton with our liquid foundation. Last week we finished the digging of the trench and flooded it. Thomas, Daniel, and Pop had long since finished the rebar forms for the footer. This past weekend the boards were ripped, and the forms built. Yesterday Thomas & Pop installed the forms. Last night Thomas and I cut up some more rebar, and this morning I bent them, while Thomas tied rebar in place and Pop gave the trench a last soaking before the concrete arrives....
I needed to do a little leveling in the muddy trench and couldn't resist stepping in barefoot. Felt so good!
