Bendo'plywood..

We finally got around to placing our 11/32 inch plywood today. This allows for making bends quite easily. We use two overlapping pieces to bend these gentle curves. Our inspector is coming on monday so we need to finish off some things by then. We need to put in our waterstop, however that proves challenging since if it gets too wet with rain it gets ruined. We also need to clean out the debris from beside the forms so the waterstop adhesive won't have any issue bonding to the concrete. We also need to decide where our drains from our roof will come in and how many. We also need to make a drain out section on one corner of the tank as well. We also need to make some drains for the overflow also. The drain out is more important for the construction then anything else. Imagine, as it rains, the tank begins to fill with water. Certainly if I was in Los Vegas, this isn't an issue since it doesn't rain. Even on the other side of this island where it rains only 1 inch per year its not an issue. But overnight here you can receive 5 inches of rain or even more some. Anyway, so the drain will be handy to leave the drain open while we build the top of the tank slab formwork.
