KnArrow Haus sprouts foundation walls

Since it's a holiday weekend, I figured I should take my trip up to see progress on Saturday afternoon to avoid traffic. I still managed to hit some coming in to Monroe due to the Evergreen State Fair, and then again clogged up before the first traffic light in Sultan. But otherwise no issues.

When I arrived, I was pleased to see the foundation wall forms rising from the footings, and a small crew of 2 there working. Looks like a tentative pour sometime mid-/late- this coming week!  I've opted to spend the money to include an admixture to the concrete to make it less absorbent of water.  Much of the basement is below grade, and for 6+ months of the year it will also have snow against it. I just hate musty smelling basements, and I want to make sure this cabin's basement doesn't smell like a "cabin".

I have to say, it's very gratifying to see something (even though it's still only forms) start to rise from the dirt. Starting feel more "real".

I also brought my drone up thinking I might use it to go down and inspect Nason Creek in more detail. But truth be known, I chickened out.  But here's the resulting video showing a higher-level view.  (Not as satisfying, but hey, I didn't crash the drone.)
