Back In The Mud

This weekend we managed to get the NE retaining wall footing done. (even though the rains started up again)  It took many batches of concrete in the mixer but it was  more economical than having the concrete truck come with a load.  Although with three more footings to go, we may opt to have it delivered.

It may not be pretty but this is be the base for the retaining wall.  After forming up one side of it, shotcrete will be applied.  We will be using corrugated plastic for the forms so when they are removed, the exposed concrete surface will reflect the corrugated steel siding that we will have on the north entrance wall.
