                                                                         Step 13 - Constructing the Main Floor Footings
  
   
                                                 IT SEEMS LIKE WE SHOULD ALREADY BE DONE WITH THIS STEP,

The backhoe dug the footings, with the guys finishing it by hand and then installing steel.


  Footings2  Then the footings are poured. This pour went very well.


  Last Yard We only needed one more yard to complete the pour, which we poured without the pump.
