Digging the Piers

This is hard work, using a powered auger to drill the piers and cleaning them out with our hands. It's very important, but no fun. This part of a project always drags on for me, but it's called the foundation for a reason. The fun begins with the floor system, but for now we will concentrate on completing the foundation walls and piers. The concrete crew may return as soon as friday, and I have to be ready with all piers ready to pour at the same time as the walls. As soon as the foundation is complete, Carroll Electric will bring us electricity. I think the first thing I will hook-up is a hot tub. The wind was biting today and seems to go right through you, and sometimes the only way to warm up is a good long soak.
