The lowest and most massive footing for the house. The soils engineer, Bob Settgast, is inspecting the tubes/sleeves through which the tiebacks will be drilled and secured. The tubes essentially leave an 8" hole through the wall once the concrete is poured. This will be a 2' thick wall of solid concrete except for the four holes left by the 8" tubes. (These are 6" tubes and the engineer decided we needed 8" access holes for drilling.)
