Last September 2009 Jim from the Mini-House and Bob, the architect carefully established the footings for the east wing set carefully at 22 degrees from the main house. the footings were plum, square and true. The work needed to include the greenhouse facing the south side and designed to winter our herbs and prepare tasty leafy greens for the early spring.
In early May Bob and Linda set up the campsite for the new season and although nights were chilly, the work to place the forms in place for the east wing began.
By mid May the buzz in the neighbourhood was that Bob and Jim needed some braun so Mile from Small Pond Arts Studio on Clark Road not far away came on the day of the 'pour'.
With the help of Rick carefully manoevering the pre-mix concrete chute to send the concrete at just the right spot, the job was done in less than 1.5 hours.
Fourty eight hours later, the forms were stripped and the foundation ready for Frank the Mason, who had already been alerted of our progress and was ready to work.
