Concrete Erections

The crane that allowed them to load all the wood forms into the yard.

The first layer of forms...all squared up!
When we first saw the 2x4s sticking up, we thought "No way are the walls going to be that high!"

 Pretty exciting!  Now, the real shape of the house is coming into view.  Today they are finishing up the wood forms that will hold all the retaining walls of the house.  I had no idea we had so many retaining walls.  Apparently, they are important. 



Walls, walls, everywhere walls...
 Boy...were we wrong.
Some of the walls are 9 ft tall!

The walls that will surround the mother-in-law unit.




By the end of the week these wooden forms will be filled with concrete.  Next Monday, the forms will come off and the shell of the house will be visible!

No going back on the plans now!
