Covering our spiderweb..

We spent most of the day finishing off the plastic spiderties. We needed to place and bend all the rebar as well for all these wall sections. We are leaving one area out since it makes our life easier to carry materials in, etc. Eventually we will need to buy a ladder to walk into the tank area. We had to deal with some on and off rain all morning as this is the wet season they tell us. Anyhow, could be worse when I think about the snow people work in. In an effort to save as much plywood and minimize cutting, we are letting our sheets hang over the edge of the wall formwork. We ran out of material (rebars) early this morning, however whitecap was able to deliver our goods earlier then we thought so we had no delay in work. Tomorrow we will finish off all the straight walls and then tackle the curved sections. We will try to pre-bend our 5/8 (15.9mm) plywood so it won't push over our spidertie walls. We only have 5 or 6 sheets left and need to order more material tomorrow from HPM.


Almost completed section of spidertie walls. On the corners we add 2x4 bracing which helps bind the corners together and add support for our concrete pour.
