This weekend we got the footings for our west retaining wall/root cellar filled with concrete. We could not have managed it with out the help of our friend Johny who manned the mixer and kept the “Mud” coming.

Next, Jeff and I completed the  fiberglass rebar and basalt roving reinforcement for the wall.  We just have have to put up the forms for the wall then we will be able to  spray the shotcrete. Hopefully this will be accomplished next weekend.

Jeff inside our future root cellar. It’s not real big but it will be the perfect place to store our bountiful apple crop and probably some wine.

Yes, I know, it looks just like a septic tank.
