Finishing Up

We have been laying blocks for some time and finally we at the end of this stage of the project, which means I am going to have to get to work. Before we leave we need to finish the garage.


We need to dig down to a depth that will be below the freeze line and put in our footer.


The footer is in and the blocks are on the way. The basement was constructed from ten inch blocks. The garage will be laid up with eight inch.


Finally the last block is laid and we are ready for the lumber. I have been working up my materials list and have taken it in to the lumber company for delivery on Friday morning, June 17th. 


Here is a view from the top of a pile of earth showing the block walls.


Here is a view from the top of another pile of earth showing the foundation that we will build on.
