Step 2: Excavation and Foundation

Since I wanted to "Keep it Real" I started by plotting out my stadium and digging a pit for a foundation.
I must apologize in advance that I was not taking shots throughout the whole project, but I stopped everyonce in a while to take a few screenshots.

This is Actually the first project that I have taken step by step screenshots.
The thought was always on my mind but I never stopped to take the time.

So step 2 was to dig 20 feet down across the footprint of not only the field but the area around that I measured out for the stands.

I then dug a grid of trenches along the 50 foot lines where my rulers intersected.





To finish the foundation, I laid Adminium along the trenches.





This gave me a base to start with for framing the stands, but first I had to build up the subbasement framing to meetup under the field. The field is 10 feet above the bottom of my pit.
