If you live in Los Angeles, you've certainly noticed the unusual five straight days of rain we've been having. While the rain and holidays have slowed construction on the [Cullen Street Homes](https://www.modative.com/cullen-street-small-lot-subdivision-los-angeles/) [Small Lot Subdivision](https://www.modative.com/small-lot-subdivision-los-angeles/) this week, we thought we'd fill you in on the foundation progress from the last few weeks.
**Let's start with the form work that was in on 12.06.10**
*Foundation forms and rebar*
*Foundation forms and rebar*
**
*The gap between the small lot homes*
**Once the forms and rebar were in place and passed inspection, the foundations were poured. Photos below are from 12.10.10.***
*
**
*Foundations and site plumbing*
**
*The plumbing running underground and into the homes*
**
*Gap between foundations for adjacent units. Note the two steel plates ready to accept the steel columns.*
**
*Foundations for Home A. Everything looks very small at this stage. The skinny rectangle in the foreground is the stair up to the second floor.*
**
*While we were shooting photos of the foundations, LADWP was installing a new fire hydrant across the street. The developer had to pay for this new fire hydrant as one of the permit conditions. *
**After the foundations were in place, prep work began for the ground floor slabs. Photos below are from 12.15.10.**
**
**
*Note the rebar and sand where the future slabs will be poured*
*Close up of slab rebar*
*The job site sign on the front fence to let passerby know what we're up to.*
