The First Dome Slab and Footing is Ready for Concrete

We have enjoyed beautiful weather over the past several days since we started setting out the building footprint. Over a few days we have got in all the water, sewer and storm pipes and electrical mains while we plodded away prefabricating sections of the slab form which  are assembled in the footing cut by the excavator in the background shots.

A ring beam footing integrated with the slab to form a raft slab which in this case has some fiddly projections to form where the sides of the projecting hoods over the windows and doors will anchor.
