After we achieved the proper compression on the building pad, it was time to start digging into it...and dig they did. It took 10 full cement truckloads just to pour the foundation, the carport floor, and fill the mason block. Inside the concrete, there is roughly 500 rods of 20' rebar. There's enough steel in the foundation to interfere with your cell phone!! And...looking at the foundation trenches, one can't help but feel a bit like a mouse in a maze. During the process, we had two cement trucks get stuck on the dirt drive...one almost took out the new power pole.
