We did it! As of last Wednesday, we have concrete footings for our foundation.
A large crew was assembled at 6:30am for a truck to arrive at 7. When I left for work at 8am the concrete had just begun to flow, and I think the pour was all done by about 10:30. Morgan has lots of pictures on his Flickr account if you want to see the action.
Our friend, kEvin has been here this week helping out– his alternative to Burning Man this year. It was an awkward week for it, unfortunately, because of the pauses in action just before and then after the concrete pour (waiting for it, then waiting for it to cure), but he has been here this weekend to “make up” for those pauses, doing some of the more back-breaking labor that is beginning to really wear on Morgan. THANK YOU KEVIN!!
They are applying some kind of vapor-barrier sealant that helps insulate the slab. Next, walls!

Yaaayyy, what a beautiful hunk o concrete! I canʻt find a link to Morganʻs flickr acct anywhere, can you send?
We just got back to Twisp last night after a long time away, and everything is fine. Carol had left the sprinklers on a timer, and we were stunned to find a healthy crop of cherry tomatoes waiting for us, a delicious development. Congratulations on your new footings, C&C
I was posting from my phone, and couldn’t make the link thing happen, but now it’s fixed. Links to the crew pic and Morgan’s Flickr account now in the post.
