The first concrete is poured

The morning was spent building the forms for the footings, and spreading gravel between the forms. In the afternoon they poured concrete into the forms, using a crane-like machine which conveyed the concrete to a flexible nozzle. The concrete was poured into the forms, tamped down, and leveled. Steel rebar rods were inserted into the concrete vertically, used when the walls are poured soon,
