Foundation, Stem-wall, & Slab

 

This is the result of the 'fill' being placed as shown earlier. The beginning of the 'forms' for the footers and foundation.

                                                   Footers and foundation complete.

Our house is built on a 'stem wall'.  This a method to securely raise a building off of the base elevation.  It is a course of cinder blocks that is then filled with fill dirt.  It is an alternative to a slab on base elevation or a 'crawl space'.

Stem-wall filled and compacted.

Concrete slab poured.

Finishing the concrete.
