He got the rebar all bent for the auto lift pad.
Then I painted all the sides of the ledger strips for the sheathing.
Jim was busy the rest of the morning cutting and bending the rest of the angles he will use to connect the steel tie to the end walls.
He also brought his air compressor up onto the deck from the shed - now he can use that for certain tools to make life easier.
During the heat of the afternoon, we switched gears and went back to work on the HydroFoam on the ground floor. Back to compacting...
And always lots of shoveling and leveling the gravel...
But it's really taking shape!
After I left for home, Jim was able to get started on some of the welding of the steel ties. Unfortunately, the spool gun still doesn't work but since the welder is on the deck, he can use his other gun.
Jim was getting pretty disgusted with the concrete guy. He was supposed to call and stop out and Jim never heard from him. He called again today - he finally called back late afternoon. He's supposed to stop by tomorrow so hopefully it will still work out. Meanwhile, Jim put in a call to the crane operator because he had mentioned a name and Jim wanted to get it just in case.
Also, Jim's Lowe's rep called and they will be delivering a new stack of plywood on Wednesday to replace our moldy stack. They are actually selling the moldy pieces cheap to someone who will just use it for concrete forms so it won't matter.
