Let's Keep Rollin'

OK, well after digging out the foundation and pouring the footings, they put up these things called forms.

This is the rebar for the basement floor

Dad was fascinated with the way they wired the rebar together with this little tool.

Here's our basement floor! We actually went rollerblading on it the day after it was poured. Unfortunately, we don't have any pictures of that.

Next post, framing the house!
