Building a Foundation

This is just slightly delayed with me going back to teaching full-time, but here it finally is! The foundation!

This will be quick since it's already 10pm, but basically here's an overview of what's happened since the footings were poured.  After the footings cured, the builders:
1. Delivered the forms for the foundation to be poured into.

2. Set up the forms in the correct place, then poured the concrete into them.

3. Let the foundation cure with the forms still in place.

These pillars will hold up our front porch.

These forms are around the base of the garage

4. Remove the forms and continue to let the foundation cure.

This is a view from the back of the house looking towards the front of it

5. Once it's cured, spray it with a water sealant and add some drainage.

The black stuff is the sealant.

Can you see the drainage running along the foundation?

6. Let the sealant dry.

And that about wraps up where we are now.  It's been crazy hot here (heat index about 100+ for the last few days) so not much action on the house.  Plus the builders are on vacation.  We are trying to be patient, but are anxious to move on the next phase of building!  Backfilling was supposed to happen yesterday, but hasn't yet.  Hopefully soon!
