Rob,

My wife asked me what I was going to do with all that dirt. I told her I was going to dig a hole and bury it .

LOL...

Impressive to say the least.
I noticed there was no rebarr in the concrete footings nor in the block. How did they bolt the subfloor to the block?

 

[hunterridgefarm]

The rebarr was "inside" the footings. For the block, they were pumped full of concrete with tie-down bolts inserted to hold the seal plate.

I have a picture with the seal bolted down, I'll try to find it and post.

 

[hunterridgefarm]

Found it. This is the best pic I have showing the plate bolted down.

With all that clearing I see a lot of "staubs" (not sure of the spelling) in your future. All those little cut off sticks. If you cut them off at the gound they'll eventually rot and come up. Easy pickens if you have kids!!

Great looking place you have going!!

I was curious how the block was tied into your footers?

Here are a couple of pics of how our footers were looking before the block was put in.

RobJ,

I'll be picking those up for a couple of years.

PSDStu,

Here the block are set with mud, no rebarr required. They do require every other block to be filled if rebarr is nto used. My builder fills every block however.
