Making the Forms for Footings

On May 24th and 25th, Eric and Ben (and later assisted by myself and Veronica) built the forms that would hold the concrete that would become the footings for the new log home.

To ensure I don’t steal the glory from these two hard workers of our log home build, let me just say that on day 1 neither Veronica nor I visited the job site or the property. On day 2 my minimal contributions were an hour or so of shoveling, an hour or so of throwing large rocks off the excavated site and some general running around and fetching tools from time to time.

Everything else, measurements, majority of the shoveling, leveling the plot and the tops of the forms, were all Eric and Ben.

Thank goodness for them too, I might add, since there is no chance I would or could have done the work required under those conditions (the black flies were as thick as soup on both days).
