Once we had the slab of the house poured, we had to repeat the process for the garage and wood shop.

First a layer of compacted sand surrounded by concrete footers |

Then a layer of 3/4" stone |

Then the concrete was poured. |

Garage + house = lots of impervious surfaces |

Standing in the garage |
Before we even poured the slab for the house, we found out that we needed a retaining wall to make sure the house stays on the hill. Even more concrete.
It's not a particularly beautiful retaining wall, but most of it will be under the porch. We hope that the visible part can be made into a bench or a step eventually. That should be it for concrete. Next up...walls! (literally)
