A little progress on the house…

The foundation footing are almost setup for pour. Due to some small changes, it looks like the footings will be about 150 yards, the foundation walls about 140 yards, and the garage floors about 70 yards.. so around 360 yards give or take a bit. That would be around 45 trucks worth, or about 1.5 million pounds of concrete.

That seems like a lot of concrete. The guys putting the forms together said it seems like these load calcs are for a commercial building, not residential.

Of course there are already 46 pilings that go 50-55 feet deep, and are 3 feet in diameter, so that is probably at least 500 cubic yards, so I guess I am getting off easy!
