Our Retirement Home Part Five (The Footings)

Wednesday morning we were happy to see two big cement trucks arrive to start the pour in the footings. A bulldozer had shown up earlier to pull these two heavy beasts up our gravel road and into position and, after some minor troubles with the pump truck, the cement began to pour into the frames. I think at that moment Marie and I actually realized the house was now a reality! Friday we continue with the basement framing and more pouring. Now all we have to do is keep our fingers crossed the weather cooperates as we welcome June!  gws



Easy does it!


Almost there!

Now what - the pump has given up!

At last we have cement!
