I thought it might be nice to show you the finished product. The forms were removed the very next day.
The sequence was: footings were poured and leveled and rebar set vertically to tie in the walls. That was done a week or so prior. Then the metal forms went up with rebar between them. The concrete was then poured. After 12 hours the forms could be removed. So this is the result the very next day. This is the basement and garage. A two story house will be built on top of these walls. This is the back view.

Sand castles built on a small sandy beach overlook Lake Cascade in Idaho during sunset. The mountains in the distance are obscured by low-lying clouds... the remnants of a storm.

Pink-headed knotweed ( Persicaria capitate grows along the foundation and on the grout of the Casa do Cantoneiro which sits along the road to the Caldera of Faial on the island of Faial in the Azores. The flower, originally introduced to the Azores as an ornamental plant, is native to the Himalayas. It escaped cultivation and is now considered an invasive plant.
The building, originally built to house road maintenance workers (cantoneiros), has been repurposed as an interpretation center for the Caldera within Faial Nature Park (Parque Natural do Faial).

The set of Asimov's "Foundation" trilogy is my dad's...the tea set is my mom's from their wedding...and the unique retro teapot is something I picked up at a thrift store in Pittsburgh but have since passed on to a friend who appreciates vintage pieces even more than I do.
This is also appropriate because my dad got me into sci-fi but my mom got me into tea, and all three subjects were made circa the 60's and 70's.

Downs Road Boatyard, Blackwater River, Maldon. The Foundation provides training and apprenticeships to keep heritage boatbuilding craft skills alive: such as rigging, metalworking, engineering and woodworking. Currently the apprentices are involved in the restoration of the 'Torbay Lass' built in 1923 and one of the last Brixham Trawlers to be built. The rebuild of Torbay Lass is managed by a lead shipwright with 6 young people getting hands on experience of rebuilding a 102-year-old wooden sailing vessel. Taken with a Polaroid SX-70 Alpha 1.
Foundation repair is a traumatic experience. Homes in the Houston (Texas) suburbs are built on concrete slabs over a clay-rich soil that expands and contracts with the seasons. Given enough years, foundation cracks are common. Using the weight of the house, cylindrical concrete piers are driven into the soil until refusal, about 16 feet (5 meters) down in 14 locations around the affected sides of the house in our case. Then the home is jacked back into level. Doors are closing properly again. Not sure our ornamental shrubbery will survive the required transplantation, but if not we'll be planting Texas natives that attract butterflies. Angel, shown here, was an industrious and pleasant worker. Thanks Angel.

Technical Notes: Minolta XD7. The film emulsion was probably Rossmann's house brand of a ASA400 film, made in Japan, likely relabeled Fuji film sold under the Rossmann brand. This film does not exist anymore. Scanned on a PrimeFilm XAs in RAW with VueScan Pro, then processed in Lightroom with Negative Lab Pro.
The foundation castle of today's castle was founded on an artificially heaped hill around 1200 by the counts of Kleve. The castle was rebuilt in 1400 by Fr. of Saarweden and extended in 1475 with a ring wall.
In the Spanish War of Succession 1701 - 1704, the castle was destroyed. Around 1740, the hunting lodge was built in the outer bailey. In the aftermath of the Second World War, the ruins were rebuilt in the 1950s according to the original plans.
Visiting the castle you can see on the outer walls very beautiful which parts of the building where renewed. Incidentally, the reconstruction work was done very well =) The roof of the keep is somewhat disturbing. Well, you can not have everything.
So, I did a thing. And that thing was redesigning SWF.

Our church mission trip took us to the village of Ch'ixtotic, in the state of Chiapas, Mexico, where we worked and worshipped with the people of the Presbyterian congregation there and helped them lay the foundation for a new church building.
Not a bad view from the worksite, if you know what I mean. This was sunrise one morning. Loved the fog hanging in the valley and the colors of the sunrise in the sky.
