The foundation walls were poured on Wednesday. Our schedules did not allow us to attend the event in person. Apparently, the concrete trucks were scheduled to arrive about 2:00pm but didn't show up until 4:30pm.
We drove up on Saturday to perform the menial task of stripping the ties out of the concrete. We learned how NOT to do it, and Katie figured out how. See the video for full detailss.
We couldn't complete stripping all the ties because there was wet mastic on the lower part of the walls and footings to protect and waterproof it, and the footing drain wasn't in -- so we couldn't reach. And they were still stripping the forms off the inside walls. (I think I ruined my shirt because I got some of the mastic on it...)
For those not inclined to watch on YouTube, here's the state of the project.
All exterior windows and doors are on order and scheduled to be delivered beginning of October.
Framers and lumber package are scheduled for this Tuesday!
