We have been spending every free weekend and evening working on the shop! There are several different ways to do the foundation but we are going with the three concrete pour method. T spent weeks getting everything dug out in preparations for the footings. He went with a different method for the footings this time that uses plastic molds instead of wood. We got that all set and ready for the first pour.
T took the day off and Grandpa, our friend Pastor J, and one of the homeschooled teenagers from church came out to help us.
The pour went pretty well although we had an inexperienced driver. The main thing is that we had just the right amount of concrete and were able to to get it all smoothed out and finished.
We spent the next Saturday tying rebar.
The girls helped, especially Peanut.
Lou had a bit of a dirt uni-brow going on, haha.
We are all so dirty when we come in from working out there. This is what the floor looked like when T had to come work at the computer for a few minutes. :P
Then it was time to put up the walls. The girls love getting a tractor ride whenever they can!
We spent a couple weeks working on the walls. It's a slow process because there are so many steps, but we eventually got it done!
Grandpa came over a couple of Saturdays to help us finish prep and make sure everything was level and square.
Ready for the second pour!
