So it took exactly a week but we have finished the wall formwork. I used our new ladder to climb up to our container roof and take this picture. You have a better vantage point from here. Remember, you can click any of these pictures to see them in much larger size. Our inspector is coming monday and we will add some supports on the inside and outside to prevent it from tipping over. Otherwise we are ready for concrete. The pumping guy and concrete is set to come for Tuesday. We covered a section of wall with a piece of styrofoam because we ran out of plastic covering.
My calculations indicate we have probably used at least 1600 screws to hold the plywood to the spiderties. We also have many supports in the corners, etc. So we probably have about 1800 screws or more holding this thing together. Concrete release compound has been put on the inside of the concrete so it releases when we pull the plywood off.
We heading to the beach tomorrow for some R&R. The weather has been very good for several days now with no rain. Somewhat more comfortable to work when your not so damp.
