18 cubic yards of concrete

A concrete mixer gets the whole neighborhood's attention!

Nice strong footings!

You can't help but get excited when the concrete mixer arrives.  Make way!  The yellow trailer in front of the mixer in the pic above is the pump.  The guys pumped that whole mixer full of concrete into our footings (that's 10 cubic yards) and then went back for more... All told, we've got 18 cubic yards of concrete in the new footings (the contractor was surprised, thought it would be 12!).  Solid.
