Foundation Wall Forms

I've been meaning to find the time to pull off the old siding, but I just haven't been able to do it. I told the contractor that if the crew had the time they could pull it off. So they did. They also found some rot is places that I expected to find rot and some places that I was totally surprised to find rot.

The contractors have also been doing their main task of getting the foundations built. The footings have been poured and the foundation wall forms have been built. The walls will gets poured on Monday. The lumber will get delivered on Tuesday. The framing will likely start Tuesday as well.

Here is some rot that was found on the NW corner of the house. It looks really old.

 Here is some rot on the master bedroom wall. It also looks very old, and it was very unexpected.

Here are the sonotube pier forms for the porch. 

Here are some photos of the house without the siding.

And here are some photos of the foundation wall forms. The footings have already been poured.

Here's the front of the house. The siding hasn't been pulled off yet, and I'm still trying to get the electric company to give me permission to move the meter away from the front door.

    1. We have to repair the rotten stuff. And we'd like the meter to be anywhere except next to the front door.
