Working in 20-degree weather, masons first construct a makeshift tent over what will be the rear walk-in basement wall, then install the cement basement floor. |

THE DAY OF THE MOVE! |

It seems as if the whole island turned out to watch today, as the Mountain View Inn is moved off its original location, down the main road, and onto its new full basement near the Parsonage, to become Cranberry House. more photos of the move courtesy of Lorraine Bracy |

Cement is poured for the foundation walls. (Weather did not permit barging on 25 Oct.)
Now the cement must cure for 2 weeks. The building is scheduled to be moved onto the cured foundation on 16 November, weather permitting. |

Forms for the basement walls are installed. Cement will be poured into the wall forms on 25 October, weather permitting. |

The foundation footing cement is set, so the forms are removed. Drain pipes are laid completely around the foundation, both outside and inside the footing. Gravel is filled in to make the floor level. |

After a delay caused by uncertainty about septic system placement and basement design, work on the foundation for Cranberry House started yesterday, with the laying of the forms for the foundation footing. (There will be a full-height walk-in basement.) Today, cement is poured for the Cranberry House foundation footings. |
