Footings

Here is another update of our house-

I have been worried about the tempature lately that it has been too cold. In these past few days it has been warm. So they have poured the footings. Here is what the footings are-


A footing is typically concrete and typically reinforced with steel. The footing is the bottom part of the foundation . It's the base -- sometimes called a "spread footing" because it's spread wide and it spreads the vertical loads that are coming down in the building.


I am learning new things about building a home.
