Footings and Foundation

We decided to hire out all of the foundation work. Footing are the concrete supports for the basement walls which sit on top of them. First, they build a form for the footing and then pour the concrete.

Completed footings.

Next, they put up forms to pour the concrete walls into.

The view just keeps getting better with every new step of the project!

The forms are taken off and we're left with concrete walls for the basement!

There are two windows and a door on the downhill side of the basement.

The basement walls were then waterproofed before they started doing the backfilling.
