The day after trenching was completed, work began on the foundation forms.
All this work was completed the week following approval of our plans!

Chuck Epp (standing) takes a height measurement of a stake.

Earl Copelin helps clean up after a hard day's work.

Richard Barnes makes sure the electrical box is secure.


Form stakes had to be driven precisely to ensure a level foundation.


After all stakes were driven, the form boards were nailed into place.


Trenches were flooded with water to make stake driving easier.


All forms were completed and ready for re-bar in two days.
