Today the guys are peeling back the blankets to see when they can pour the concrete. There are big wooden frames visible in other pictures that show us where the walls will be. Inside of those wooden frames are small metal grids called footers or footings. Concrete gets poured over the grids (think waffle iron) and that makes up our foundation's floor. The blankets are getting peeled back to see if the ground froze around the footers. If it's not frozen, they can pour the footers tomorrow. If it is frozen, they will have to spend tomorrow heating it before they can pour. The picture is of Al (left) and Bruce (right) who are part of the team who's been pouring our concete.
