Basement Floor Complete!

To the right is Joe, our contractor.

Next is Otto, our basement guy - he's 82 years old and the only person in town who will build a basement.   

Here's what the basement looked like yesterday.

This morning, the cement trucks began pouring at 6:30 - it was still dark, but Otto had several vehicles positioned around the site to provide light.  I think he said that there were a total of 13 truck loads of concrete, for a total of 37 cubic yards.  They finished pouring at 8:30 AM.   I finally saw it after work.   Otto says they will leave it for about 3 days before they begin the walls.
