So we got the foundation poured today despite the lingering rain and clouds... I wanted to be there, luckily my buddy and knife making mentor lives up there and was able to check on the progress and discuss the finer points of the Pythagorean Theorem with the foundation guys...
On to the pics...
This is the North side of my stepped foundation:
This is the South side:
We ended up using about 2 more yards of concrete than I estimated, because they dug the foundation 2'-0" wide instead of 1'-4" wide, because that's the bucket size they got with the excavator... Oh well, it cost more, but I have a pretty decent foundation on some solid rock, so it's all good. The two guys I have doing the work a re great guys and doing a bang up job so far.
The main guy heard me talking to some other guys abotu cutting down some trees to open up the view more and he volunteered to do the work for the same price if he could have the hickory... I was cool with that so now I have twice the view that I had before, plus he pulled me up some of the oak and cut it up for firewood...
I think I'm going to get him to cut a few more trees to open things up a little bit more...
