The footings are done and their forms have been removed. Now the contractor is tieing rebar vertically and horizontally and then putting the forms in place for pouring the walls. It's pretty exciting seeing lots of progress lately, especially since it's not just tied to only my labor! Seeing the wall height is surprising at first but when you crouch down, the top of the new wall is just above the existing gutter line which is where I guessed it would be. That all makes sense but it really reinforces the amount of fill needed out front at the driveway.
Front Additon w/retaining wall. If you look carefully you can see the vertical rebar stepping down as it gets closer. That is the retaining wall steps to meet grade by the mailbox.

Rest of the rebar and forms ready to go in
The walls should be done next week and then it's back to demolition
