Building the Foundations

 For our section of the brick wall that we are building, we had to dig out a trench  and make a wood border out of lumber. We had to make sure that the ground inside the border was even before we could pour our foundation.

Once we had the dirt even, we were able to pour a layer of a concrete mixture and put flat stones in it for support and a firm structure.

 

Once that layer hardened, we topped it off with more concrete mix. We leveled that off with the top of the lumber border.

This is the final foundation. From here we were able to let the concrete dry and we took out the wood border and filled in the empty spaces with dirt.
