I'd like to build a barn!

That's a good question. I've never seen this before but They're putting sleeves in the walls for sewer, water, electric. Yes there will be electric in the island but not water.

Will the floor be poured with the rest of the footer?

No. Walls first.

The walls are in! Forms come off tomorrow. Ill take some detailed pics tomorrow afternoon. This is looking at the NE corner.

I worked for my dad as a kid pouring mostly rural residential foundations. We did that all the time with sleeves. A generic location we would put it close on the nearest tie and fill the sleeve (PVC pipe)
with mud/clay. Sometimes it had to be more a precise location and we had ways of doing that too.

Thanks. I took a bunch of pics but can't figure out an easy way to post them with captions using an iPhone.

Thank you for posting your build. It is quite an undertaking! Combining house and shop into a single building will work out great for you. Southern exposure for the house, with a view, will pay it's dividends in no time!
If I understand well, your porch has a full footing and concrete wall? I am wondering if it would have been possible to build it with embeded posts only?
You seem to have a good general contractor. Foundation prep and pouring took no time, and the job looks real good!
Great start!:thumbsup:!
