Foundation in place - forms GONE

Foundation is set enough that you can walk on it.  Everything went well with the pour and we now have a pretty back porch!  I'm surprised how high up the foundation is in back but the builders are going to put in 'fill dirt' to bring the ground up some.



Forms have been removed - as you can see no cables stick out the front - only the back and sides.



On the right side, cables stick out so they can be 'pulled' - but only on the right, not on the left.


View from our back porch - still covered with nails from the forms


This is the 'right side' where no cables stick out but they do have little 'posts' that stick out the top and shorter cables coming out.



I find the creation of the foundation very interesting!  I hope to be able to get pictures of the machine that 'pulls' the cables.  Now I'm curious how the cables aren't completely pulled out.  I am assuming the side with no long cables sticking out must be anchored in some way.

Next steps - pulling the cables and beginning the frame!
