Over the last two days they finished removing the outside forms from the walls that they poured 10 days ago, they have started putting up the rest of the forms for the first floor walls, and the plumbers have begun running the waste lines in the crawl space.
Picture 1 – This shows the west wall of the house. On the left is the outside of the kitchen wall that they poured 10 days ago. Yesterday they took down the outside forms from this wall. On the right, the black material is newly erected, outside forms for the western wall of the great room.Picture 2 – This is a view from the inside of the same wall shown in Picture 1. Now that the exterior forms are in place, they will weave the rebar for this wall.Picture 3 – This shows the exterior forms for another of the first-floor, outside walls. This one is along a hallway that will run from the great room to our bedroom. The most exciting elements of this picture are the two brown, steel posts. One of these is on the far left of the photo, the other is in the middle almost hidden by the near edge of the wall forms. Once this section of wall has been poured, a steel beam will run from it, across these two new posts, to the concrete wall at the back of the house.Picture 4 – The black tubing in this photo are waste lines for a toilet and sink.
