nothing to report

No work happened today. Just waiting for the inspector to show up and o.k. the depth of the trenches or whatever it is he is going to look at. Hopefully he'll show up in the a.m. and they'll be able to pour the concrete in the afternoon.

Walton did meet with the plumber at the site today to figure out where the drainage pipes need to go.

Footers on the Fourth

Walton went over to check how the digging was coming along at about 1 o'clock this afternoon, and was surprised to find this:

The crew was already done digging and had all of the rebar in place, too. They must have started really early this morning, or else they are bionic. Notice all of the empty gallon water jugs lying around!

Here is a chunk of that big vein of rock that Terry found when he dug the basement. Hmmmm...wonder if it's granite? Maybe we could mine it and have it polished to make our kitchen countertops. Not.
