Day 7 -- It was an uneventful...footing kinda day!

Finally an uneventful day! There were events that happened, but everything went smoothly and there were NO bad surprises today!
Pretty much the whole day consisted of putting down (??)...errr...building (??)....errrr...laying (??) footings for the foundation. I'm not sure what the right term for that is! I think I missed that in the "footing lesson". So the mason (well 2 of his workers), John and Craig did this all day! And it looked pretty simple...simple in terms of it being easy for them/nothing bad happened..not simple in the fact that it was hot again today and they worked very hard!!
The electricians (Pete Horan Electric) showed up to do some work in the garage (adding a new line from the house to the garage) and if that wasn't enough....I gave them another job. They (along with John)had the task of filling the girl's pool up with air! Hey..they didn't look too busy, they were just standing around talking, they had an air pump...and I figured they'd be perfect for the job!  THEY WERE!!!!! OK ..OK..so the true story is...John offered, Pete and Keith (?) joined in (to prove they could do it better)..and within minutes we had a pool for the girls to swim!

"Thanks Mr. Bezold, Mr. Horan and crew..."















And when the day was done...the footings were all ready for our first inspection tomorrow!  I LOVE uneventful days of construction!  














And this is where that septic hole and railroad tracks used to be!
