About the only foundation crew I would ever let into my shop:
... and what a gorgeous morning if you must need be out of the shop!
I had a crew with a similar standard of excellence do my foundation walls.
Brings back memories of busting knuckles tieing rebar while working for my Dad in the 60's.
I'm about 160 miles out of my normal territory, in a rural area of central Texas, and drawing on subcontractors in the neighboring two counties, populated, but not densely, with lots of small towns ... and just tickled sh*tless to see that the urban cesspool mentality has yet to pollute the pride in workmanship attitudes hereabouts.
Now, if I can only rustle up a local framing crew this precise.
Hows about starting with LUMBER that precise??
The stories I could tell !!! Like the time I stopped in on one crew ... the were measuring and laying out the forms for a slab. Cement was on it's way. Didn't have time to listen to my "friendly advice" about checking the diagonals. Could have gotten it closer to sqaure by eye than they did that one ! (we're talking feet not inches and certainly not fractions)
Congrats on finding some good ones!
Finally up into the positive temps here in Maine. burrrrr

Around Marble Falls? Had a crew do some excellent work a few years ago, their still around, last I heard. Steele brothers do good work.
You'd better drop to your knees and give thanks! If you're up around Bourne (or close) you'll appreciate it in ten years! Hopefully your framing crew will take the compliment your footings provide and give you something that won't have settling issues later down the line. The ground will settle no doubt, but if someone is having to "cheat and shim" because of failure to check plumb and square, it's just a crying shame I tell ya! LOL!

Yea... they talk about nippy...Nippy? I give you nippy...and thick!
It was very common to have to shovel that much snow off the car, when I lived on Lake Erie.
Looked like that here too, but it is melting quite well today.

Looks like the perfect opportunity for a little winter snow shovel aerobics exercise there.
Aren't you lucky! ;)
...pretty heavy duty...that's #6 bar in there, if my eyes aren't too bad today. I worked foundations for awhile and I ended-up the carpenter responsible...every morning we checked the work of the previous day and every evening the work completed *that* day...redundancy is not a bad thing, especially when the framing contractor searched me out to shake my hand. And you guys know, errors in foundation, if not corrected by the framer, cause chaos all the way out...AFA the wonderful morning, my time in Mineral Wells taught me that Texas is NOT always warm; I kinda liked it!
