Today might be our son Landon’s favorite day so far… concrete pouring day! A huge truck pulled in front of our house this morning which was the highlight of his week. The concrete is being poured for the foundation of the accessory dwelling unit.
Before photos, for reference. The contractors laid down the rebar before the concrete was poured.
The concrete was also poured for the bathroom foundation and the landing right outside the side sliding door
We had to do what is called “floating” the garage floor, which means putting the layer of the foundation by bringing it up to the 6” curb inside the former garage. From my understanding, this provides for a more stable structure. This is a necessary step for the ADU to be up to code. Again, please check with your local city, as all cities have different codes and regulations.
Having a little bit of having fun by putting Landon’s handprint in the wet concrete
…but of course we forgot to put his name and year next to his handprint! At least we’ll have this blog to look back at and recall. Landon 2019 :)
