Laying the Foundation

Posted in Alberta Parks and Reclamation by adamrust on July 24, 2010

We’ve excavated the site and set up forms for pouring the concrete foundation. It’s very exciting to finally see some progress on this. The long and arduous road we’ve had with getting our permits issued makes this visible and tangible progress on the site feel all the more significant and fulfilling.

Foundations

It is a difficult to envision the full scale and grandeur that these houses will have simply by looking at a foundation. But we have been over the plans so many times now that we know where every piece goes, and so we see the whole house in our imagination when we look at this foundation. Next on the agenda is to get the underground plumbing in place, and prepare for the pour of the concrete slab. Then we’ll start framing. In the meantime, here’s a drawing that helps to show a bit of the vision for the final product.
