Building the foundation walls

This is the first day after New Year's Day. As I was coming out to see what was up, here is the sight - hanging in the air is a pallet of 3x8 ft. aluminum panels which will be the forms to pour cement into for the barn foundation walls: First, the crane has to pick up a load of panels off the truck: Then, look at how the pallet sways in circles as the operator moves it to the footing area: Getting the panels into position is important: And finally, the panels are carried to the footing ditch: Now we need a few days above freezing to build the forms and pour concrete. Next week - likely not - but hopefully, soon.
