Poured walls completed

The basement walls were poured yesterday, and today they removed the forms. the walls are complete. Tomorrow they will put in the plumbing in the floor of the basement. The next work will be pouring the basement slab.

The first photo is taken looking down on the temporary electric pole. The pole with the transformer will remain there after construction is completed, but then the electric line will come underground to the house. I am standing just in front of where the garage will eventually be built. The front door of the house will be just about where the right wood brace on the temp electric pole points. As you walk in the front door, the kitchen will be in the corner on the left. There will be a screened porch going off to the left of the top of the wall.

In the second photo. I am standing about the same place, but looking down into the basement. That is a 12' poured wall, so the basement will have a very tall ceiling -- about 10' when we are finished. I am looking down into one of the bedrooms in the corner on the left and the play room is the part that sticks out in the front. Another bedroom is to the right of the play room.

In the third photo, I am standing about at ground level below the house looking at the same bedroom from the opposite angle. The rest of the walls in the basement will be framed up with wood.

Electricity was finally hooked up at the barn today. The waterline from the well at the barn to the tank in the barn and on to the garden plot was delayed because the electricity was not hooked up. Now it is scheduled for Friday.
