With the pour completed, the forms can come off. Voila, we have a foundation.

| Completed Foundation |
Unfortunately, as these things go, the foundation work itself could not come without some difficulty. After the forms came off, it became rather obvious that the basement wall nearest the driveway was about as square as the rest of the original house. Which is to say, not so square.
As a result, in this picture below you can see our concrete contractor jack hammering away the entire northwestern wall and getting ready to re-pour the wall again. Fortunately it will only delay framing a day, and this particular problem won't cost us a dime.
