The next step was completed yesterday. The concrete guys came early in the morning and put up the boards for the footings. Then we had to wait until 3 pm for the inspector to green tag it. Not too long after that, the concrete trucks showed up and poured the concrete. Garrett was napping through the whole pouring part but Nikki and I went outside and enjoyed watching. Even some of our neighbors came out and watched. It was pretty exciting!
Garrett loves following Daddy around so of course he wanted to go outside with Curtis when they were putting up the boards. It may look like he's crying but he's actually smiling.
Nailing up the boards.
Curtis saved $100 to cut an access hole out himself. He just borrowed the tool from the concrete guys. Looks pretty sexy to me!
After cutting lines he had to pound it out with a sludge hammer.
Curtis is cleaning out his hole and the boards are all ready to be inspected and for concrete to be poured.
Look what was parked in front of our house when they poured the concrete. Took up the whole culdesac.
They used a crane to go over the house and then the concrete came out this tube that he's holding. 
It only took about a half an hour from when the trucks got here to when they finished cleaning up and left. That was fast!
