The foundation workers had to erect wooden forms all around the foundation so they could pour the concrete for the walls of the crawl space and garage walls. It was hot, hard work but they were good at the job and it went fairly quickly.
Notice how close the well house is to the rest of the structure. The new garage backs up to it. We thought sure it would get knocked over by some of the heavy equipment, but it came through ok so far.
In this picture you can see the slim ribbon of concrete with some rebar sticking up out of it. These forms have to be bolted together and strong enough to hold the wet concrete. Then when the concrete dries, the forms are removed and loaded back onto the flatbed trailer that brought them here.
