Beginning work on Columns

Here are a few pics on the progress with the columns,  They are made up of steel rebar, formed into a cage.  Then tall square forms will be placed around the steel cages, which will be filled with concrete to form the reinforced concrete columns.  Once these are complete, the framing of the house can begin.
