I think it was built in the 70's when concrete was cheap. They had almost no rebar when we broke them apart. No expansive soil in this area. Sandy Silt. I think it was because they had a small footing with these large footings at the panel joints. It was still a surprise and overkill. IMO. But just like everything. Build it bigger and stronger until you have the knowledge to build it better.

are those just cement footings? unbelievable !!

Concrete.

Just a few pics of Fort Knox in Maine. Very cool place.

That would be my expression as well.

A rare sighting....thought these were extinct!

Not my photo - but my first concert. Bee Gees 1978 at Dodger Stadium. Wasn't much of a fan but my buddy's sister had free tickets. Learned a few things that day...
