aug 6,
the backhoe guy was here digging footers and then the concrete guys were also here putting in rebar and jbars and the ground rod.
the backhoe guy was an artist. no wasted motions and just a whir of moving, digging etc. i had him also dig up the foundation for a goat barn i had already taken down. as well as a couple of tree stumps.
tomorrow will be footings inspection and hopefully pouring footers on friday.
they started digging a 18" wide footer and the plans called for a 20". the backhoe guy said that was hard to do so they dug a 24" wide one. and put extra rebar and jbars in it that the plans didnt call for.
so....more concrete is good.
it sure looks big. the pictures dont do it justice.
the concrete guys say i am overkilling the foundation and slab, that is good to hear and i am glad i am.
