Pour, pour me............

Not only is the living area slab poured, but also the cells of the CMU walls are filled with concrete to create an extremely robust foundation.

We saved so many trees that space on the construction staging site is tight. To protect the remaining trees from trauma, the concrete truck is parked in the street, and the concrete is pumped uphill.

The pumping process does add expense, but to me, protecting the natural assets of the property is well worth it.

Down below in the crawlspace, a thinner slab is poured to protect the vapor barrier that helps prevent moisture from entering.
