2. The Footing

The footing is what the stem wall sits on. The footing is the under the foundation. The footing was going to be done last week but the footing guy's ditch digger machine hit an underground granite mountain last week and broke down. I was later told that this particular ditch digger machine cost $70,000 dollars new. Wow! That cost more than our first house. Anyway, they got it fixed and today dug the footing and filled it with concrete. Really exiting stuff to finally see some concrete down.
