The Foundation is in!



By the time we got to the site at 7:45 AM, the Superior Wall team was already there laying stakes to guide the placement of each wall piece – 12 for the main house and 6 for the garage. The huge crane carefully placed the first corner piece, and once set, it was just one after the other – each caulked and bolted together.

In about 90 minutes the final wall piece was set – and as planned it perfectly matched up with its mate. Then on to the garage which had the same attention to detail as the house; everything completed by 11:30, and they were gone. Note the level balancing act of the crane.

During the afternoon the center steel beam was placed and supported. The under-floor plumbing pipes for HVAC condensation, sump pump, and basement lavatory were completed, and the gravel covered with a moisture barrier. Tomorrow morning’s inspection will enable us to pour the concrete floor.
