Foundation

Well, soon after the guys were finished excavating the hole for the addition... (Oh, did I mention we are adding a mudroom entry between the original house and the kitchen. This will house a mudroom, entry, a coat closet, a powder room, and a little linen closet. ) the guys ran off (they had to catch a ferry to their next job!), leaving a giant hole. Fred Prescott, the foundation guy, came in and built the forms for the footings.
And his son took it from here, this was to be his last foundation he poured with his dad before he was moving to Massachusetts to go to college.

Footings being poured.
Moving the wet concrete around doesn't look easy.
He smooths it out with a trowel.
The next day, in between torrential rain, they put up the wall forms.
Bartlett is thrilled to have a new dirty place to lay.
