Digging to China

More digging than I ever imagined. Now, digging forms for the footings. The slab will go on top afterwards.

Just an outline, nothing on the interior.

Drain pipes and vents. I didn't know this, but you need a vent for every fixture that drains. I thought mostly toilet and tub. These will sit in dirt and cement, here waiting for the ok from the city inspector.

This is how wide the footings will be.

So much cement broken up from that tiny step that used to be outside our bedroom door.

The cement for the footings come next.
