Lower Footings

This past week, they formed the lower basement footings on Monday and Tuesday.  They were suppose to pour the concrete on Wednesday, but we spent the day waiting for the city inspector to arrive.  We passed our first inspection...on the first try!  Now, the pour will be Monday after Thanksgiving.  We spent the long weekend with many helpers assembling 12" thick ICF block.  Altogether, we built 128 straight blocks and 16 corner blocks which consisted of connecting the two foam pieces with 16 plastic connectors.  Thank you everyone for your help!  It made the task go quickly!

You can see the ICF is everywhere...including our garage (as pictured above).

The kids enjoyed playing in the empty boxes...even Aspen stayed happy through most of it!
