The Foundation Now Poured

Deb and I took a trip overr to the property and saw our freshly poured Foundation. They were able to get it don before the rains set in on Saturday. We also have been tracking the progress of our neighbors who are also building their house, started last November.

He said the rains are good for the concrete as it cures, since it's an exothermic reaction (gives off heat). A quick Google search on concrete setting confirms what he says.

Here are some pictures from this dreary, rainy day in Austin:

Weather permitting later this week, let the framing begin!
