Our good friend rain has returned again with a vengeance today. We have at least 1 1/2 inch or 3 cm of water in our tank. It would have been more if we didn't have the drain as you saw. We spent from about 8am till 2pm stripping the plywood from our slab forms finally and the inside walls as well. My bosch impactor drill got a serious workout today pulling out about 1600 screws in a couple of hours. It got so hot you needed a glove to handle it. Its held up very well thus far and I will inspect the brushes to see how much they have worn. Here you can see the pictures of the stripped walls and the result. The walls were still warm and will probably remain that way for three days like last time. This whole stripping thing felt like our good friend Linda. She spends over a month decorating her house for Christmas. Then it takes her only one day to box it all up for next year again. We splashed more water on it before we left in the afternoon and overnight it has been raining so that should be taking care of the concrete's needs.
Water standing in our tank the next day after the pour. With no rain for over a week it was good timing I guess.
First slab formwork stripped off.
You can see our cold pour here. Thankfully it turned out fine and shouldn't cause any issue.
Inside supporting wall stripped.

The morning after there was water standing from all the rain overnight on top of our walls before we stripped one side of the walls.
