The walls are poured, the forms are gone

Hey look, it's starting to look REAL now, isn't it? Removing the forms is a somewhat noisy affair. We were both in town today, so we didn't have to listen to it, but the cats were both under the bed for the duration. The concrete dude in this picture is where the bump out to the existing living room will be.

If I understand this correctly, in another couple of days they'll be back to fill in the foundation and pour the slab, and fill in the moat (kind of a bummer, as what is a castle without a moat?)
