Day 3 - Setting the Foundation Layout

Well we made some progress today despite the chill. We now have all the footing forms layed out and level and we are backfilling and putting in the steel. Unfortunately, the backfill is being drawn from a frozen pile of dirt. So, using a blowtorch and a pick, Ryan spent most of the day fighting to get the dirt from the pile into the wheelbarrow, while I spent a better part of the day breaking away the ice from where we intend to pour our concrete. And now the snow is dumping down so tomorrow will be an interesting day...
