Casting the Foundation Walls






The forms/molds for the foundation walls are set and the process of filling them with cement is underway.


A closer view of the form construction process.

The pump truck that will deliver cement into the forms.



This shows the pump truck pumping cement into the forms.

The next cement truck is waiting to dump its load into the pumper truck. Once they start pumping the cement into the forms they can't stop. There was always a next truck waiting when one was emptied.

Another view of the well coordinated process of cement truck loading cement into the pumper truck. The pumper truck pumps cement through that arm into the forms. You can't see it, but there is a worker holding the end of that arm to make sure that the cement is placed correctly into the forms.

This is a view from above the operations. We are looking from the hilltop, between the rear neighbors' homes. Again you'll see the pumper truck arm feeding the cement into the forms.
