At 8:30 AM on March 5th, a crew showed up and started putting the forms for the basement walls in place.  It took about 1.5 days for all the forms to be put in place and ready for the concrete pour.

Early in the morning on  March 8th, the Concrete Pumper Truck was back in action again as was a herd of Concrete Mixer Trucks. 

A steady stream of Concrete Mixer Trucks pulled up to the pumper as the pouring  of  the basement walls proceeded. 

The pouring of the basement walls was done before noon.  This included the finishing work such as putting in the anchor bolts for the house framing. I don’t know how many truckloads of concrete were used.  I stopped counting after six.

Here are some pictures of the finished product.  The forms were taken off and hauled away early this week.  And then the rains came so not much else has been done.  I think the plumber is up next to hook up the sewer lines and install a sump pump.  Sump pumps are more or less standard equipment in all houses both old and new in this area. 

Stay tuned for more…
