This week on the Garage+ project saw the installation of the concrete footer and the walls – as well as inspection of the foundation. The RJH Concrete crews, under Andy Cormier Homebuilding, did a great job and worked fast on a few warmer July days. The photos below tell the tale.
This upcoming week promises to be full of activity as well. Stay tuned!
This site is where I will discuss stuff that I find interesting and that includes family, friends, golf, gaming, and Boston sports!

Looking good. What size gun do you have planned for the emplacement?
Looks great Mark, very impressive. At the rate they are going they will have the shell built in next to no time. Looking forward to the next post already. I do like a WIP post even when the scale is 1:1 🙂
This post really made me realize its the little things in life that are different in different parts of the world. In the UK the concrete is poured from the back of the truck not the front!
Well, we have trucks that deliver from the front, or the back, plus ones with big pumps that come off the side or the back. Here it made sense for a front delivery as the trucks could not drive on my lawn.
Looking very solid so far. If they can’t finish it, I think it its current state, it will make a great bunker to survive in a post-apocalyptic environment! 😉

Appreciate that Jeff. Hopefully I get to use it as a garage first!

Looking good mate, and I’m learning also e.g. the unusual cement truck and a term I have never heard before “leach Field”, very interesting.

I never thought I’d discuss it in my blog, but in case you are interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septic_drain_field It’s common here when you don’t have a town or city sewage system.

It all fell into place when I saw it was septic, pretty common on farms over here.
