Signs of progress: the new parish hall foundation has been poured

The foundation for the new parish hall was poured yesterday.


Kit Cone, who took the above photo, wrote:

Today the concrete for all the footings under the new addition was poured in one day! The photo shows the concrete mixer putting the last load into the forms. (Earlier in the day a concrete pump had been used, but at that point I was on the road with the Recycling Ministry on a four-shift day!) The "fence" sticking out of the newly poured concrete footings is reinforcing rod which will bond the next layer of concrete to the footings. The footings themselves are also heavily reinforced with the same kind of steel rods.
