Video: Bottoms up, gettin' it done

It all starts with the foundation. 

​This is true for anything we create.  A stable and solid foundation allows fantastic things to grow and flourish.  And that's exactly where this projects gets underway - laying a foundation:  footings, stem walls, and slab.

But to be honest, it sure feels like this is a surprisingly large footing for such a small addition.  It's a massive amount of effort, concrete and investment for only about 152 square feet (the kitchen addition). 

We're hoping this is so well built that it'll last another 100 years easy.

Big truck arrives to begin building the foundation.

​We put together a short video to show a little bit of the process. 

The simultaneous destruction on the street in front of our property makes it extra special (the street is getting a much needed make-over by the city too).   

Check it out.

Bonus:  Ibis-the-yellow-lab, as always, has a cameo shot!
