Welcome to Elaine's Retirement Journal

I retired from John Muir Health as a Project Manager on May 22, 2011 after several attempts at doing so.
This blog is to experience my new Projects as Project Manager, Leisure.
I have several other blogs related to all the Morgan's Over America- see links.
As my Sister and I went together on the same trip to Provence this summer, and as she is a much better writer than I am, I have provided links to her writing where appropriate.

DAY 8- Footings are Started

The daily progress isn't so rapid, now that the excavation is temporarily completed. With all that dirt moving, the landscape became a moonscape in a very rapid time frame. The excavators will come back for backfill once the footings have cured.
The guys re-marked the footing lines and started building the frames for the concrete.

The plumber came and put in an outside spigot for water (here goes our water bill), and Craig put in an  electrical outlet on its own circuit for the construction workers to use (here goes the PG&E bill).

Form building will continue through next week, then await the county inspector to okay the forms before the concrete is poured. The house next door isn't really as close as it looks here.
