Lots and lots of rebar




Lots of rebar awaits the pouring of the concrete foundation tomorrow. The piece of rebar with the yellow tag is the Ufer -- the ground for the house. That one piece of rebar is longer than the rest and reaches all the way to the exterior of the house (past the foam wall in the foreground of the photo, which separates the inside of the house from the outside). The electrician will connect the Ufer to the electrical panel with copper wire to ground the house. Incidentally, this section of the house is our laundry room and mechanicals room/drum room. Above these will be the entry, mudroom and a small bathroom.
