Foundation Finished

I have been a little lazy with posts lately, but I will try to update more regularly from now on. The final pour for the foundation is finished and we even had enough concrete left over to concrete the base of our power pole. Since the professionals were handling the foundation, it was done perfectly the first time around. The electric pole is my domain (or nemesis at the moment) so it took me nearly as long to do my part as it did for them to pour the entire foundation. 

I dug a hole with the intention of building a wood frame for the concrete. Since the plywood was too large, I fired up the circular saw for the first time on this build and managed to cut the wood and not my fingers. Impressed with myself, I strolled over to the hole and started to screw the boards together. For this I used my handy electric screwdriver/drill, a wedding present that makes an appearance once every 4 - 6 months and has a fancy laser-like light that points right at the screw head allowing you to use it in total darkness. Designed for nocturnal carpenters, I should have known better than to use it in broad daylight. 

I managed to slip the screw driver off of the screw head and shove it right next to my thumbnail. It made it in about a centimeter before I had the presence of mind to release the trigger. But the blood seemed to grease the screw a bit and it went right in after that. Job done.
