Digging and Footers

Week 1 of building is complete :) After the hole was dug, the footers were installed.  (The footer is wider than the foundation wall and located below the frost line. The footer helps distribute the house's weight to prevent settling or movement.)

We had some pretty heavy rain after the concrete was poured for the footers. Once the forms were pulled up from the footers, Fischer then laid some of the drain tubing (not sure I'm using the right word).
