Concrete - Video


Enough of the still pictures. Here's a scan of the finished footings and walls.



When the concrete floor is poured it will be level with the top of the short wall in front. Most of that wall will be underground with the top just an inch or so above the patio level

Concrete - Day 4


It was a short day. The crew came early, knocked out all the connectors, took down all the forms, lifted all the cages of forms back onto the truck, cleaned up and took off. I barely had time to take any pictures.

Here the outside forms have already been removed and lifted over the wall. The walkways at the top of the inside forms have been removed and some of the cages have already been reloaded to the truck.



They left two guys behind to spray the outside of all the walls and footings. One is handling the hose at the top of the wall while the visible one is spraying below. Some of the waterproofing is visible on the wall section to the right.



I took off to buy the first load of insulation panels which will go up two thick - 4 inches, giving us R-20 insulation on the outside of the concrete walls. They were gone by the time I got back.
