Footings done

The footing for the new foundation was poured on Monday. Our neighbors have graciously let us use their driveway for the forms crane and concrete pump, which is shown above. Yes, you can pump concrete, great distances in fact. The blue crane above is pumping concrete into the footing forms, and is controlled remotely by the fellow in a white shirt with the wireless orange control box on his belt.

In addition to the artifacts I mentioned before, we placed the key to the front door of the old house under the footing for the front door of the new house.
