Wood tabletop...

Sadly I forgot to take a picture of our completed work this afternoon. We ran out of skids yesterday so we switched to 2x4's instead. We also ran out of those as well. So we took a break in the afternoon and went to our hot pound by the ocean. We are about 75% covered already on our tank floor. In the first picture you can see how we build the little walls. We cut the 2x4's ahead of time and then just nail the whole thing together quickly using my Bosch nail gun. Our walls are spaced 16 inch's on centre and the wall as you can see has supports ever 24 inch's (2 feet). Tomorrow we will likely finish the whole top tabletop formwork and then monday we hope to finish the steelwork as well. The inspector can come on tuesday and we can pour the concrete on wednesday. This is what we're aiming for. Early then wednesday would not be advisable since the concrete needs at least a week to cure to be able to hold the new weight we will put on top.

Build our supporting walls.

Extra support, however we will probably replace these with some long 2x4's instead.
