Jumping Jack foundation wall fun..

So we started our morning out with a quick drive to Hilo to purchase some 6" tall rebar chairs/supports. Without these we could not proceed any further with our project. We also picked up a jumping jack compactor from Puna Rentals in Keaau. They have all sorts of equipment for rental so we will be visiting them frequently throughout this project probably. We had distributed our footing base course too much since we compacted it so we thought this was a worthwhile exercise. We also were seriously low on many spots, most especially after compacting twice or three times. So we had to fill back quite a lot of material to bring it up to grade again to the bottom of the slab formwork. Here are some pictures from our work.
