8.20.2014

Jim continued working on building up the next course of ICFs as well as putting steel inside the forms.


Steel is very challenging at this point...at various times I caught Jim in challenging positions...


When I took this picture, he was just getting up from laying flat on the planks and putting fasteners into the forms.


 
Installing another piece...
 
 
Mid-afternoon, Jim took a break from working on the forms to put up more waterproofing.  I had gotten pieces cut, the wall all cleaned and brushed off, so we were ready to just install pieces.  Here Jim is using the roller to make sure everything is fastened down well.
 

After we got done with the side wall, it was time to tackle this back section.  We knew this was going to be challenging because there is very little room to work.  Jim used the spud bar first to loosen up any stray concrete.


Then I cleaned it up, cut pieces to fit, put plastic on the ground hoping to keep me and the site cleaner, and then squeezed my body into this area and got the bottom row of the waterproofing done.
 
The waterproofing really makes things look clean and finished.
 


The birds eye view at the end of the day - Jim really got a lot done today!  You can see at the left side of this picture that there are more brick ledges around the back - so he had a lot of difficult corners and transitions to work on.  Looks fabulous!
