Sunday we took a day off for some R & R. Today we were hard at work, at the job site by 6:50am. The ramset tool got a lot of use today. You could smell gun powder all day long. We shot in about 200 pieces of 1 1/2inch nails with washers. These hold down the spidertie feet to the concrete. We decided to build, bend and place all the rebar for the entire spidertie walls first before we started putting in our plywood. We placed all the starter feet down first. The straight sections require them every 16 inches and the curves have them every 12 inches. We also made a minor mistake today when selecting our rebar for our walls. Instead of horizontal #3 (3/8 inch thick) rebar we started using #4 (1/2 inch thick). So we need to send back a bunch of #3's now and order from more #4's tomorrow. Hopefully they can deliver them tomorrow or else we run out of materials. We have over half done of the spidertie walls as you can see from the final pics.
The waterstop material will run between these legs and will be placed before the pour of concrete.
Our workstation to deal with the rain sessions. It usually only rains for about 5 or 10 minutes then stops for 30min to 60min. The morning forcast had 90% chance of rain till noon then 100% chance after noon. Well, after 2pm there was no more rain so I guess they were wrong.
Completed spidertie wall without plywood, final rebar in place.
Difficult rebar bends are behind us now. Tomorrow we should make good progress.
