Footers are ready for concrete!

Well, a week after the trench footers were poured, the rest of the footers are finally ready for concrete! While the forms were easy enough for us to put together, there were a lot of details that took a lot of time- cutting the forms to fit in some places, leveling, hooking up the crossover pipes (which required more cutting of the pipe), tying up the rebar (which required MORE cutting of the rebar) and finally spreading out the gravel. If we were to do this again (which we don't plan to do!), I would definitely choose a house with fewer corners, instead of the dozens we have now!
