Over the past few days, some of the remaining open footer holes have filled with water and mud. The worst ones were near the back corners of the house, on the ground slopes, where the holes were actually excavated out because we couldn't get the auger close enough. This one is at the SE corner. |

Once it was cleaned out, we could set a full-length form tube in it. |
Jeff then slowly filled the tube with concrete while packing dirt and mud around it to support it. |
|
On to the patio risers. Before setting the short form tubes, Jeff wet the area around the pin... |
...then set the form tube with the pin centered, and filled it with concrete. |
|
All three patio risers finished. |
