Basement Walls Poured...

Bradley and Kendrick enjoyed watching David and Kelly finish getting the basement wall forms ready, and then pour the concrete.  It went fairly well -- the wall forms bulged out in on spot, but they were able to add a tie to keep that from being too bad.

They will be taking the forms off tomorrow (Saturday), and they will have a guy come out to waterproof the outside of the basement walls while it is still curing.

We're probably going to be ready to pour the basement floor on Wednesday of next week.  Labor Day set us back a day..  We're planning to use the basement floor as a test slab for the color concrete.  Dawn and I will be going out to Ohio Ready Mix to look at the colors and decide exactly what shade we're going to try to accomplish.  It will be interesting...  If we need to do another test, we'll use part of the footer on the house foundation.  That way, we don't have to pay for extra concrete, and we get at least one or two tests...

Here are a couple of pictures while still getting the forms ready...
