The foundation is poured! It was cold and miserable, but not raining, thankfully. I think everyone was wearing mitts, toques, winter jackets and rubber boots this afternoon while the cement was being pumped into the footings. The temperature was 4 degress celcius (-28 with the windchill!) and the low tonight is +1 so no heaters or covering is required. The working guys warmed up but I stayed bundled up and the girls were in the van except for the 2 minutes they came out to watch the cement come out of the "truck with the arm that kinda looks like an elephant's trunk".

It's all ready to go.
The pumper truck. Sure beats the old cement trucks with chutes everywhere!
Observing from the warmth of the van.
All done, just waiting to dry.
Nathan had been in school while the work was being done so he quickly inspected the job after supper and then had to play on the gravel pile for a bit while we girls waited in the van. Yup, we are definitely whimps when it comes to the cold!
