The addition continues. Here are the "forms" for the foundation for the addition. This is where the new dining room will be. Which is exciting, because we've never had a dining room, just a breakfast nook. Which we outgrew pretty quickly. We went from a married couple to a family of 5 in 4 years. We don't play. Just try to fit 3 high chairs in a breakfast nook. Ain't gonna happen.
OK, back to the remodel . These "forms" are kind of like a mold. Metal bars (called rebar - see previous post) are placed inside the mold and form something like a skeleton and then concrete is poured into the form. That creates the foundation.
Are you impressed that I figured that out? OK, I didn't really figure it out. Our contractor Rob explained it to me. But admit it, you were impressed for a minute. Right? Awwww.....c'mon, you were right? Just a little?
