More progress, the footers are done !!

The hubs and I went out to the house site last Tuesday (3/11/14) to check out the progress and the footers are complete! We are not experts and had to google around to figure out the exact purpose these footers....A foundation footer is perhaps one of the most critical aspects of the house. It's almost always the first building element that contacts the soil that the house rests upon. The primary purpose of the footer is to spread out the weight of the structure across a larger footprint than the foundation would, if it were in direct contact with the earth. 


Humm....sounds very important! 
It was getting dark by the time we made it out there after work, so the photos are a little blurry due to lack of light. I probably should have turned the flash on.
