Building our cave..?

So we continued building our table top formwork today of course. I forgot to take out the camera again in the afternoon so I don't have the final pictures. But we are at least 95% covered already. The weather was pleasent and the rain didn't bother us much today, so thats always good news. We mainly ignore it at this point since it stops after 5 minutes usually. We used up all the 100 2x4's we bought yesterday by noon today and then used another 30 again or more today. We had to run into Hilo today to get more since we couldn't continue. Had we not needed this extra trip, we could have finished the top. Anyway, tomorrow we have maybe two hours to work with it then move on to the steel work. We need to figure out some things regarding a large hole we will leave so we can more easily remove the material. Eventually we will pour more cement and covered that section up to have only a 2 x 2 foot access hole.

We tried our best to use big sheets where could and not cut when not necessary. The most exciting part of this whole exercise will be to remove all this material after the concrete has cured. There isn't too much room to work inside, however we are small people which is a great advantage. Even now while building the walls its very helpful that its easier to move around down there.
