Stonehenge!
That's right, we are really not building a house at all but a druidic temple! Actually these are the foundation forms. They sit in neat little baskets so they can lower them into the hole. |

Drain Tiles
This shows the drain tiles they put in today. There is corrogated tubing on each side of the footings that will go to a sump pump. Should keep the basement dry! |

I think this garbage can looking thing is the holding tank for the sump pump. |

More drainage pipes. There a good thing! |

Pea Fill
They also brought in most of the pea fill today. Couldn't spread it out here though until the footings are done. They also got poured today. |

Drainage
I think this tub runs under the ground to the drain tiles so that the water will go into the ravine. Will eventually be buried more I think. |

Pea Fill
That's a lot of little rocks! |

Footings
Upper footings have also been poured. |

Footings
Don't know what this little step is for. Just a change in elevation I guess. |

Pea Fill
Here you can clearly see that they have leveled the fill with the footings. The basement slab will sit on top of the fill and overlap the footings. |
