Finishing The Wall Forms

Morning:

Garret called to say the foundation wall pour scheduled for today won’t happen until tomorrow. Randy will be at site all day digging and placing the center post forms. Gary, Lani & Ruff arrived at site around noon. The concrete crew (Wilson and Danny) finished up the foundation wall forms, bracing them for stability. We met Randy who was digging the hole for the east center post.

Foundation Wall Forms:

East Octagon Center Support Footer

Garage, Office, Kennel Room

Fireplace, Living Room, Master Bedrooms

Electrical Panel and Radiant Heat Wall Section

Panoramic Overview, Looking West

Afternoon:

Later, Garret arrived and said Randy has been having problems setting the center post. The east center post was more difficult because it sits up against the foundation wall and a corner of the form must be trimmed off to position it correctly. Also the hole was full of several-foot diameter rocks. Randy stayed to work on placing the form for the east center post. Later in the day, Garret went back to the site to help Randy install the center post form boxes from Topsider in both center post footers.
