Eleanor Archibald and her family
are building a home in Oneonta
Jon and Bruce are in charge and
we are impressed with their energy
and thoroughness.
| Jon Edgington has done a magnificent job
supervising volunteers to prepare the foundation for the cement
pour. One of the most difficult and time-consuming jobs is
making sure the area is dug down far enough and all the parts
of the framing for the concrete foundation are level. Pictures
below show some of that preparation. |
Measuring
- where will we dig? |
| For this first few weeks, the main
workers have been Alton VanCleef (controlling his awesome
machinery). He dug the foundation area, moved a truck,
and came back to help the Job Corps kids level the ground
for the basement cement pour. |
The other important actors
in this story so far have been the energetic and hard-working
Job Corps kids. They have worked diligently setting the metal
frames on the foundation, placing the rebar inside the molds
so it will strengthen the concrete walls, working with the
cement to fill the walls, then taking all those metal mold
pieces back off to expose the basement walls. |
