Once the digging was done it was time to bring in the heavy equipment, litteraly. The local cement supplier, Elmers, came in with several pieces of equipment to pour the foundations for the new areas on the lakeside and roadside of the cottage.
This isn't the greatest shot but if you look closely you can make out the standard cement truck parked behind the pump truck which has it's enormously long arm stretched over the roof of the cottage.
Here you can see that same arm extended out to the lakeside of the cottage where Fred and Mike Lanham guide the cement being poured into the foundation forms.
Here's a better shot that shows the cement flowing into the foundation forms
As the forms fill up Fred rakes the cement to even it out
In a final step Chris Lanham draws a board across the top of the wooden forms to make sure the cement is level
When all the work was done I grabbed a quick shot of the pump arm being folded back up over the rooftop.
*the first photo is of the slogan on the side of the cement truck.
