How more titles can I come up with formwork support? Support 99% done!

Today we wanted to get started nice and early. So we got up around 6:30am and were ready by 7am. Then it began to rain like it was from a bucket. This is not unusual for this part of the island as it does receive 3.63 meters per year. We waited till about 7:45am when it finally stopped for a while that we felt we could head out there. We setup our stuff and then it began to rain again. Not wanting to waste anymore time we got our trust canopy tent where we could work more dry. Getting wet isn't much of an issue here since its warm rain. The humidity level must have been somewhere between 98% to 99.5% today all morning. My regular open frame work glasses were foggy for hours and they didn't clear up at all.

We finally managed to finish off all the supports. We needed to create more triangle supports since we needed many for our curved walls. These aren't things you want to be cheap on. A concrete breakout isn't a fun thing to have. All in all we have 71 supports which required about 36 pieces of 2x4 8 foot lumber. We also had to cut a bunch of rebar which was then pounded into the ground by myself. I've had enough sledge hammering for a while. Its not your typical hammering. If I don't want to smash my work to hell or my dad's hand then it means I can only hold the hammer about 1 to 2 feet from the rebar top. It was a rather damp and tiring day.

The best part was when we finally finished at about 3:30pm and could finally go home. A small section of wall remains to be built since thats where the excavator will enter tomorrow when they bring more base course to fill up the centre of the tank. So we will build that once they are done with that, probably tomorrow. Enjoy the completed pictures. You can see our nice canopy tent which we bought at Walmart and will be returning because one of the legs broke as we were taking it down. You pay what you get for I guess. At least it kept us out of the sun once and once out of the rain.
