Building Forms, Placing Forms, Filling Forms...

Ok...now that P and I finished digging out the giant hole, we had "our wayne" inspect it and low and behold it passed! Hip Hip Hooray! NO MORE DIGGING!!!!...at least for now that is.
This week it is all about forms. Forms are the very next step in building our foundation. We build forms to mold a solid concrete slab in order to stack our cinder block.
Here is how we did it...

First we built the forms...

Then we placed the forms in the ditch...

Then help arrived...









(My sister Tracey and my brother-in-law Jon - Thanks for the extra hands Guys!)

Then we filled the forms half way...

Next we added rebar to reinforce our work...

Then we finished filling and topping off the forms.

Then I took a cute picture of myself:)

And a cute picture of P...

And lastly we signed our work.

All in a single days work:)

Tomorrow we will take a day for some much needed R & R **sigh**

Thursday we will remove the forms and repeat the process for the other side of the boulder.

To be continued....
