If you say you've never done a foundation before, you are learning fast.
Very professional looking job !

How cool Warbler, to put forth that effort to literally have a roof over your head (that you own)!
I do it for other people to keep a roof over my head but it's still quite rewarding. I have a special affinity for Spanish style homes.
To this historic Crossgrove house; We removed, stored and reused the hand made roof tiles, stripped the house to the studs, added a second-story, installed period wood windows and added all new hard and soft scapes.

Amazing craftsmanship on this thread.
In the mean time, here is my humble "garden work bench" for use in our veggie garden area. Still needs shelves, etc. and not too sure yet what to protect it with (stain vs. paint?).

Just slid in the adjusted table slab and screwed a padded stop on the inside, bottom. Done, and two days ahead of the deadline!
Since I got suckered into this project as I was finishing my shop remodel, I haven't had much in the way of free time on nights or weekends for almost a year. So, to celebrate, my daughter and I will be driving to the Sangre de Christo mountains on July 4th for a following day ascent of the Ellingwood Ledges on Crestone Needle, and hopefully the Crestone Traverse, weather permitting.
Meaghan is a middle school math teacher at a charter science and technology school in Denver, and has been climbing for 22 years. On her summer break she has already skydived solo for the first time, has summited multiple 14ers, and will leave a few days after we return for Newfoundland, where she and a friend will have to pass a Canadian Park Sevice orienteering test to be allowed on a 3 day backcountry trip in Gros Morne National Park. She's a busy girl, and I'm psyched to spend a couple of nights with her in the shadow of the Crestones.

Palm Avenue in Coronado. Like La Jolla, there's plenty of eclectic and quality architecture including Requas, Gill and May homes.

Excellent work pinck.
i really like that form work, seems like much less labor than how i was taught. i helped Petch(do you know him?) up in Strawberry do his 32'x32' three story "garage". We had a 9' retaining wall on one side and a 8" wall on the opposite. Along with 2'x2' footing, with (3) 6'x6'x2' footings for the (3) metal posts to carry four metal "I" beams to hold the moment. including the slab we poured 68 yds of cement.
That was a fun job!

You bet!
seal krete concrete sealer is a durable water based acrylic sealer- although not advertised to do so, it works perfect to thin Woodscapes solid body stain and allows you to customize the transparency. For example, you can contrast the fence and table slightly. I've used this system on roof eaves and trellises for years. It's super easy to apply future coats as well.

Treez. Bro. Could you tone it down a bit? You're making us slobs that just use regular old prefab butcher block for a mud room bench look bad.
Railings went in yesterday.
Spruce top rail made from on site tree felled 1.5 years ago. Moisture at 11%. Good enough for hippie work.
Skirt boards made with 30 year old rough sawn spruce 5/4 X 20 inch.
