Good Friday evening....

Friday evening in Colorado..... It was a fabulous day here, a bit chilly, but clear and bright. It was a perfect day for pictures! When we talked on Wednesday, I said I was going to post the pictures from the day before. I ran out of evening before I got it done, but I will post them tonight, then I will post the pictures from today after that. Here's the Tuesday pictures!

This is what I saw when I drove up the driveway. That big pile of dirt is sitting in front of where the garage doors would be.

This is just a zoomed in picture of the same thing. Notice that the mud is gone! Weird,huh

This video is George digging the front frost footers. George had his equipment all set up to level the foundation pad so the crews could get the footers all formed. Note the blankets in the trailerto cover the forms.

It's important that the frost footers are deep enough. Here's George measuring them.

This stake is the corner of the garage with the marks placed for the foundation crews.

Here's the cutout for one of the buttress walls in the back.

We had to go back out to Divide later that evening, so I took some pictures in the evening.

.... here's my favorite builder! :)

...and this is my favorite..... the sun peeking through the trees as it was setting.

NOW, on to Friday.....

When I got out to the site, all of the footers were formed and ready for concrete. Sadly, we can't get an inspection until Monday (bureaucratic red-tape) but will pour the same day - weather permitting.

This is the back wall, and George's head. He's moving the blankets so I can take a picture of the footers and the ground built into the footers.

and here is that footer with the blankets pulled back...

The footers here are all formed and covered.
This is the footers in front of the garage all covered up.

Here is the entire foundation (as much as you can see...) from the driveway. It's all covered up, and all the steel is all in place.

and my last picture is the total lack of buds on the trees..... :(
