The next step is the building of the forms and the pouring of the foundation - more concrete!

The forms for the foundation are built out of pre-formed aluminum elements which go up much quicker than trying to put them together with plywood.



The crew scampers around the top of the foundation walls which are only about 9-inches wide, with a 9-foot drop on either side.



Then the first of four concrete trucks come in and deposit thier load.


While the concrete is being poured into the forms, the crew moves around and distributes the concrete evenly.



At the end of the day, all that is left is for the concrete to set so the walls will stand on their own when the forms are removed.


Next: The foundation completed
