Something To Build On

Last week's holes in the ground are beginning to turn into the outline of a building. Parts of the plumbing and conduit for the electric service are being put into place before the slab is poured. Footers that will support the steel uprights are recognizable now. Even for someone like me who knows little about construction, it's starting to look like a building! (Click on photos to enlarge.)

A concrete form for a footer, showing the large supporting pad underneath. These will one day support the entire weight of the building.

A completed footer ready for a steel upright to be attached to it.

Looking like a piece of modern sculpture, part of the plumbing system is in place ready for the pouring of the slab.
