Crews at the Vancouver Washington Temple recently poured 150 yards of concrete for the front footings and foundations. As concrete for the foundation cures, it is waterproofed and backfilled with soil. White plumbing pipes have been roughed in at several locations, marking future utility connections that will be made in subsequent phases of construction. The project has been underway for approximately four-and-a-half months.
