Basement Walls!
Well today they finally put up the walls for the basement! Progress! The truck pictured here is the truck that they use to pump the concrete into the walls. The actual truck that caries the concrete was not there yet. This truck hooks up to the concrete truck and then the workers can use the apparatus on this truck like a hose and pour/shoot the concrete anywhere they need. The wonders of technology...
What you see in this picture is the workers putting up the mold that will form the walls. The mold is made out of metal and they piece it together. It sits on both sides of the footings that they poured last week. Once everything is up and in place, they pump the concrete in between the metal. I tried not to get in their way as I was takin' the pictures! :)
These last two pictures are pictures of the finished product with the concrete poured in between the metal. In a few days, they will come back and remove the metal and leave the hardened concrete. I guess now I can officially start taking measurements as to where I want the bar, ping pong table, and pool table to be... :)
I think I mentioned this previously, but the house is scheduled to arrive at 7:00 AM on the 23rd (a week from now). I have a contractor lined up to start that day and he said he should have everything framed in about two weeks. The company, Modulex, said that the pieces for the house will arrive on two trucks and the siding and roofing will arrive a few days later. I now need to get a contractor lined up to do the roofing and the siding.
