Footing Pour

The day before Thanksgiving, we got the building permit, the footing inspection was called in and our concrete subcontractor - Chak-Lee Foundations is cleaning up and getting ready for a concrete delivery at 2:00 pm.
It's been raining off and on for a couple days but the sandy soil and mild temperatures have made the rain a non-issue. The copper grounding wire has been placed in the footing, and a 6" sleeve for the septic waste line and a 2" sleeve for the water line as well. The forms will go up on Friday and Saturday and the plan is to pour the 10" concrete foundation walls on Monday and strip the forms on Tuesday.
I'll be heading out to catch part of the footing pour on video and away we go!!
