It was a warm day today and Jim was back working on all the shoring that needs to be done in preparation for this next concrete pour.  There's a lot to do - first, figuring out which sections need shoring, and then figuring out what to do to make those sections strong.

The saw and punch got lots of use in making steel pieces to fasten onto the forms for strength.

This side needed a lot of attention...

Mid afternoon we took another waterproofing break.  This front section had all the thimbles to go around which made it harder, but after yesterday working in the little back section, this area felt huge!

This picture shows the membrane all done in the front as well as the shoring Jim did in this wall section.

 

After we were done with the waterproofing, I came home to let Jim just get some good work time in with no interruptions.  He worked on the backside - I'll have to get more pictures of his work when I go tomorrow.

 

Yesterday evening, Jim cut a little grass before he came home.  This is the upper section where the house will eventually go - sure looks good!
