Laying the Foundation - Day 1
Wow. We did some serious construction work today. Started at 8am clearing out 38 holes that were dug already for the foundation. Then we poured concrete in each of them. We had about 5 or 6 wheelbarrows and went out to the curb to get cement from the truck. We then brought the loads back to the holes and dumped them in. The only problem was limited space and trying to not fall in the holes (about 3-4 ft deep). We didn't fill the holes, just enough to make a platform for the re-bar. We will set the re-bar tomorrow and fill the holes with concrete on Wed. We are all sore but having a great time working alongside our friends in Talca.
