Foundations



Thanks to the tremendous efforts of Michael Werleman (our architect) and Jean-Marc Duval (our contractor, pictured above), and all of the input from a huge number of family and friends, the construction of the cottage is underway!

The footings were poured on September 10th, and then on September 17th at least four Lafarge trucks took turns dumping loads of cement into the foundation molds.

The forecast is excellent for the foreseeable future, so the cement should cure beautifully, and then the Duvals can get to the work of putting up the walls.
