Ground breaking on Sep. 30, 98 | Alan at the controls of the trackhoe | Basement hole half done. |
We started building the
house
today. Ground was broken at about
10:00am and the cellar hole was complete by 4:00 pm. The crew today
included
Oral Carper, Tim and Danny. We will use the heavy equipment
to
improve
the roads tomorrow then that type of operation will be done for a
while.
We will need to resurvey the site to make sure the foundation forms
will
be square, set the forms for the footings and pour them. We
are
excited
that the house is finally started.
Forms for footings being set | Note the strawbosses on the hill | The first pour |
We now feel as if we are
really on our
way with a good footing thanks
to the crew of Joe Blevins, Dick, Tim, and Boo. Also our
strawbosses
