This is the forming for the foundation walls on the upper part of the main floor. Frost line here is only 2′ so the foundation walls only have to be 2′ higher than the bottom of the footings.

This is the forming for the 10′ foundation wall of the basement.   The upper level is on the other side of  this wall.  You can see the steel rebar that will end up in the centre of the wall.

October 24 – Upper level foundation after forms have been stripped.
