Taring the First House

This last week they finally got the footer's done on the first two houses so they put of the braces to do the wall of the first house (wilkey's house- as seen in picture) So they ended up pouring the cement work on Thursday so today we got to start on taring on the first foundation. Yea.
 This is what the foundation looked like when we got to the site this morning. We had to knock all of the brackets off the wall and then do a little clean up before we could start taring.
 Justin went around the base of the foundation and knocked off any big cement globs that need to come off before we tar.
 We had people inside taking out cement chunks and getting them out of the crawl space. We then had people with brooms dusting off after they knocked stuff off the foundation.
 We then started to tar. It is sticky and messy and your clothes are never the same afterwards.
 Here is Jenna Wilkey...this is her house that we are working on.
 Here we are almost finishing up the tar work.
 We also worked at getting the electrical box up on the house so that we could have power.
 After finishing we visited and got the site cleaned up.
 Here is Jenna Wilkey and her husband in front of their house well the start of their house.
 Here is Justin after picking up trash around the foundation.
It was nice to finally get started on our house project. We cant wait to do this again next Saturday when we tar our next foundation. Yea...
