Project Basement - Week 3 cont'd

Looking east on the south side of the house. You can see the temporary walls having been framed in. If you follow the walls down to the floor, you'll see three dark rectangles - those are the holes in the slab where 10" thick concrete will be poured for pads for the permanent walls for the house. They're also going to be used to jack up the house to be level. As such, once the concrete is poured, Mike will be off the project for a week to let everything dry nice & hard. Then he'll be back to work & hopefully the real fun should start; once the house is level, they'll start officially framing. Stay tuned...
