These are photos of the forms they put up for our foundation...took 1 man all week to get it done and level them and ... everything that you do to get ready for the cement...The top set is from a front view, the bottom left is a side view...I was trying to capture the slope of the land...just to give an idea of how much dirt we will have to bring in to fill the front...
Here is a set of photos of the cement truck and cement pump that was used to pour 37 yards of cement...Can't imagine what they did way back before these huge pumps were created...It took all of 2 hours, 4 cement trucks to get it all poured...
And now here are the huge walls we have on our lot, the foundation...to the right, is the garage area...we have to bring in a LOT of dirt to fill it in, compact down and then pour a cement slab for the garage. It looks like a huge swimming pool...the "cut away" portion is actually where the driveway will go up to...so you can try and imagine a line practically across the front...that's where the dirt will go up too...

It is about time you updated your blog. I was getting tired of seeing Mike's birthday. He he he. Wow, you were quite busy. The new home construction is so exciting, especially picking out decor for the home. I can't wait for the final look of your home.
