The first sign of construction activity was the digging of footers for the foundation. This was a pretty quick and interesting process. I was intrigued by all the rebar and the way it was bent, tied, and formed into the footers. Concrete was poured into the trenches and allowed to set before the foundation began to rise. That square area with all the rebar in it is the footer for our new fireplace.
By the way, if you notice in the first photo, our roof is still brown despite the recent color change. That will be another project in the near future to retint the existing roof to match the new one. I will also be removing and reconfiguring the chain link fence behind the current house.
