Fixing mistakes


The posts from the timber frame have to rest on concrete footings most of which are next to the walls except for two which are in the middle of the house. One of the middle footings was put in the wrong place and didn't line up with the notch on the back wall where an adjacent post will go. After complaining to the foundation guy he eventually sent someone to rectify the problem and extend the central footing. The lighter coloured cement on the right is the new footing and it now lines up with the notch that is just visible at the top of the picture. Later on, the footings will be covered up by the basement floor.
