A cold corner post...


We have some help coming this weekend to begin framing but we need to pour one more footing for the corner post that will support the roof in the back. The footing will need to set up for a couple of days before we set the post and the weather man is calling for cold weather all week. We cut out the deck and demo'ed part of the brick walk to make way for the form work. I don't want to pour the concrete when the temp is falling so we prepared everything at night and poured early in the morning. We heated the water on the stove, mixed the concrete and immediately covered everything with insulation and clear plastic. We are supposed to have sunshine for two days so I am hoping for a little green-house effect here!
