Day 9 : Foundation walls

We are entering the third dimension now!

It was one of those picture perfect days today: temps in the 70s, low humidity and plenty of sunshine. The crew poured the foundation/basement walls today. We showed up mid afternoon just as the concrete truck finished its work. Since this is a walkout basement design, basically only the back half is below ground. So the 8' concrete walls do not wrap all around the basement area. You can already see the attached garage on the right, where the porch will sit on top. The main living quarter is the larger area on the left.

Here are a few pics again.

  2. It's Casa Crana (with an "a" at the end). Casa should be obvious and Crana is an old (medieval) name for our birthplace, Kronach. We think that some of the style and spirit of our European past will be there with us, not just in the name of the project.
