Step 4: Foundation Walls

Today was another busy day on the house construction project.  The Cribbing crew started at 8:00 this morning.  First they removed the boards that were used to form the footings that were done yesterday.  Then a picker truck dropped off all these baskets of form plywood.  Then they spent the morning putting together the form plywood boards.  At 1:00, the pump truck and 2 giant concrete trucks showed up and started pumping the concrete into the walls.  The walls are 5' high and 8" wide.  There is also 10M rebar in the wall.  And on top of the wall, there is a ladder shaped 2X4 that is embedded into the concrete.  This 2X4 is to attach the walls to when the house is framed.

Tomorrow they will take off all the boards and cleanup so we will be able to see the finished concrete walls.
