Wall formwork

So we are back from our little mini vacation and at it again. We began removing some of the wall formwork from the outside walls. The results look good and I'll have some pictures soon. We haven't ventured under the slab top yet, however it now echoes when you speak under it, likely from all the concrete.

We are in the process of chasing down the steel columns that we need to hold up our roof support. There is one company on this island which stocks what we need. We got some quotes to weld and drill some holes in this material and it's all over is place. These people have wild pricing. What would cost $500 in Toronto costs $1000 to $2300 here.

So we will be reducing the cost by doing some work ourselves. We will have someone weld the material but drill the holes ourselves on site.

I'll have an update on this when I have more to say and show. Likely we will buy a drill press and do our own holes today. Then hand it to someone to weld together.
