Moving on to the porch

For those of you who know Dwayne and I very well, you know that everything we do tends to be more complicated than we think it is going to be . This weekend, Dwayne and his awesome help worked on stacking the front porch and the t-walls that will connect the porch to the house. We cannot express enough how grateful we are to have such wonderful friends who are willing to give us so much help! Our plan calls for a wrap around porch that is eight feet wide (which equals a lot of block!)




Looking across the front of the house. The trench footers that were poured for the porch have several step downs, which makes stacking the block a little more interesting!









Looking down the side of the house. You can see the wall connecting to the house. The basement wall has to be cut in for the t-wall to attach so that when the concrete is poured, it is one continuous structure. The garage base will be added the same way.
