Forms for the Footings

Today the form work for the concrete footings began. The footings support the walls of the lower level which in turn suport everything above them. Within the outline of the footings you will notice additional forms. These are for the concrete bases of the steel columns which will support the floors above. All of this work sits on top of the compacted stone base. Even though we have had rain and snow and the soil around the work site is a soft muddy muck which is hard even to walk in, the stone base remains dry and firm allowing work to continue. ~ DS
