Underground fallout shelter.


Nah, just kidding. I'd need at least 30 bags for that.

Actually I'm pouring footings under our sunroom, which was probably originally a deck at some point. It was built on 6x6s, which had almost totally rotted out. By the time I started this project, there was virtually nothing holding the structure up. I really can't figure out how it had not collapsed.

I poured the first portion back in November, and have re-framed down onto it. That was really the only load-bearing portion. The rest is mainly cosmetic and to keep the elements our from under the room. Today was one side...I'm not sure when I'll get to the last side.
