Timelapse 12/14-12/24

Mostly rebar work this time around.

Some pics from a different vantage point

I haven't shown pictures from the uphill side or the driveway for a while.
Take a look at the new shots from yesterday. I'm the guy there in the red shirt.

Almost ready for main lower slab pour

Pictures from this past weekends trip. The main slab that supports the large retaining wall is almost ready to be poured.

Weekend visit pictures

They've started laying the rebar reinforcements for the grade beams. Still shocks me how much steel goes into these things.

More timelapse fun!

I've been playing with the settings on the speed of the timelapse. Here we are still at 1 pic every half hour. But the framerates I'm uploading have been squished somewhat. The latest one I'm showing 5frames/sec. The prior one I'm showing 1 frame/sec. Since Youtube has controls to speed up and slow down I think this may strike a happy medium. Let me know what you think.

This is at 5fps:

More forming boards..

Alot of the wood is up for the forms. The walls will be tall!

all those nice 2x12's!

Timelapse 11/17-11/30

3rd material shows up!

Concrete, steel .. now WOOD. Unbelievable amounts of wood are used for setting up forms for concrete. I'm hoping some of it can be recycled for something else on the build. Its starting to look like a structure finally!

Trenching for grade beams

After thanksgiving I went up to take a look at the progress..
Concrete has been poured for all the piers. They are now trenching and prepping for the forms for the interconnecting gradebeams. It will be quite a structure when completed. I was suprised at how much wood they will be using for the forms. I have to think of ways to re-use those forms for something.
