Today the cement was laid for the footings and pad for the casita. This was after a lot of rebar and other metal was put into place and tied together. Then this morning extra men showed up for work and once the gravel was delivered the cement mixer was started and about four and half hours later all that was left for the day was smoothing and leveling the cement. Here are some photos of the the work in progress.

Exciting to see real, physical progress on a project.
