Footings...
ok, so the rebar drawings came, and we ordered it, and it took two weeks to make, so we only got going around last Thursday! Looking at my last post, that’s three weeks after we thought we would start! Time just slips away, but we’re not losing any money waiting.
So, we’ve motored on and the footings are being dug out, no dramas, and if you look at the photos below, you can see how lucky we are with the existing footings going way down! That’s saved us thousands, and think of all the time we would have spent underpinning the walls…
And we’ve finally ADDED something rather than taken away, all be it a pool of concrete with two bars stuck out, still, it’s a start!
