Lord Residence: May 2009

May 7 - Here is a view down the south (right) side of the house where the landscapers are adding topsoil.

May 7 - Here you can see that the courtyard is progressing. The strings are up laying out the walls and some of the footings are dug.

May 13 - An up close photo showing the rebar and how it laps in the corners. The painted piece is our depth guide to show how deep to pour.

May 13 - We installed a continuous rebar around the perimeter, thickened the edges and reinforced the corners to prevent breakage.

May 13 - This is looking towards the garage. The curve is elliptical and will be a real challenge to lay brick to.

May 13 - Where the plywood is will be a gap in the wall with a pillar on either side. We ran the concrete through for added strength and durability.
