The basement is poured!

This morning the concrete guys poured the basement. They used many of the same machines that they had earlier used for the walls and footings. After the concrete had set up, they used a motorized circular float to finish the surface. Later in the afternoon they sawed grooves in the floor. Finally, in late afternoon, Gordon Lumber brought the first loads of wood to build the basement walls.
