The second batch of concrete arrived today. For the addition, the footer is not only a trench around the perimeter of the room (like it was for the garage); it's also some square forms in the middle of the room that will hold supports.

Gary and Jimmy shoveled some concrete into several openings in the blocks that form the garage foundation too. Bud had recovered so much that he resumed his honorary contractor status and jumped in to help. I wasn't sure it was good idea, but he'd had too much of being trapped inside, so there was no stopping him.

Anyway, framing's the next step. Gary explained that they put the concrete in the garage foundation at the places where it will attach to the frame.
