Week 4, Day 23 - Things Are Forming Up Nicely

So I went up to the ridge today to take a few pics of the footers, just to have them. Since the basement walls are 9' tall, and the company that is putting the forms up was using them on another job, I was expecting to take a few "unique" shots and be on my way.

So I shoot a few shots...

And I hear a truck come rumbling up the driveway!

Once the truck is turned around and in position, the driver uses the cool crane on it to move the 'packages' of concrete forms down into the basement.


Soon the form containers are all down in the basement...


...and the gentlemen begin setting them into position.


The pattern on this stack struck me as interesting...


Lots of forms!


Locking the spacers in place.


I can almost imagine the walls...


I stopped back up a little later in the day, and the forms were almost completely done!


Another angle on the completed forms...


It's looking like we will be pouring the foundation walls tomorrow!

Our "Scrapbook"

I've never been proficient at scrapbooking, but I wanted a way of capturing the building of our new home. A blog is the perfect way for two "techies" to accomplish the artistry of capturing memories.

We moved from the Midwest to the East Coast in October 2008. We found our building site in November 2008, and broke ground in October 2009.

Henceforth, The Building of Blackthorn Ridge.
