Foundation Floor Ready to Pour



On Wednesday at 8AM - we will be pouring the foundation floor - foundation walls - sidewalk - and ramp. The building inspector will be here tomorrow to make sure the steel reinforcement is correct and the sand is properly tamped.

They will use the concrete hose method of pouring the slab and filling the walls. That's right - the floor will extend down into the concrete block walls - filling every cavity. What are they expecting here - a hurricane?

In the first picture - you are looking north. There will be an 8 foot wide French door to the right of the palm tree. A ramp will lead up to that door. Above that door will be a 4 x 10 yodeler porch that will have a 6 foot wide French door on it. The sun will come in both of those door sets.

In the second photo - you are looking south - toward the woods and lake. You can see the pool screen room on the right. In this view - the steps and entrance to the second floor will be. There will also be a service door going from the workshop toward the house via the pool screen room.

I just thought you should know, I framed an entire house in one week with Habitat for Humanity over spring break. I would have built your guest house in exchange for free housing. ;)
