The Forms - Feb 28th

So, we arrived in Colorado Springs on the 26th. We went to the site at night, but forgot the camera. Only the footings were in at that time, which would have been a good picture to show the progress, but alas, we don't have that. The next day the forms were up, but they weren't filled and it was rather uninteresting. So, we went back on the 28th (we go by once or twice a day) and took these pictures.

The first picture was from the car, with the window rolled down, as there were people working all around and we didn't want to get in anyone's way. The image shows the state of the homes behind us as well.


So, we went back at night. I didn't bring a tri-pod, since we rode there on our beach cruisers. I wonder how strange we looked to drivers we passed? Anyway, these next pics aren't the greatest quality, but they get the details across. This one is a close up of the forms which shows how the foundation/basement walls are just re-inforced concrete poured into the forms.


For this picture I put the camera down on the pile of dirt, so you can see the entire basement. Also shows across the street and the surrounding neighborhood.


This last picture is a view from our front yard. We will have a view between homes looking out at Pike's Peak, that tall snow covered mountain on the left, behind the tree covered hills/mountains. And, yeah, those are our beach cruisers.
