Footings Are Formed


Saturday, November 2:
So, these are the forms for the footings.  (Ladies, if you're wondering about the need for footings, as I was, I'm told that footings are required to be 4 feet below the ground level to give the house a certain stability.  Otherwise, if we poured and set the walls directly on the ground, they would gradually sink farther into the ground [as my brother's kitchen has done over time...] and we wouldn't want any sinking. --M.)

The top photo shows where the garage will be, and the bottom one shows the rest of the house (mostly kitchen, I believe, just as I requested...)
