Wow. We are on our 43rd day and no cement trucks are anywhere in sight. These forms are being built on top of two feet of rock. (See the rock all around?) And they are 38 inches tall on average (I’ve been walking around the whole thing with a tape measure checking). This foundation is called “a raft” because (as Swensen Say Faget explains to me) it is meant to float on the liquified soil when the big one comes. The cost of this much cement is insane . . . . it’s over 10% of the total budget for the house.
