We only have to back fill around the piers and put on the seal plates and foundation will be finished! The forms boards did not come off as easy as we had hoped. We had to dig them out and unscrew them all. We will try something different next time.
We had to hire someone to pump the concrete into all the pier forms.
It was a big job to build all the forms. We started out measuring each one, clamping each brace into place and then screwing it on to the form boards, but then Blane, Jr. made a jig that made measuring and clamping unnecessary and it went a lot faster.
We hired a backhoe to dig trenches for the piers.
We used the board and batten system to square up our footprint.
Now the push is on to get all the logs peeled and treated before insects start eating them or they start to rot. It takes a few hours to peel one log. It is not the fun part of building a log cabin. We look forward to these logs becoming walls!
