STILL TAKING FORM

Forms for foundation/cistern await concrete.

Dan is back from vacation and things are beginning to move again.  Steel that will reinforce the walls and cistern floors has been put in place, as have the external forms.  Things are basically ready for the pour which in and of itself will be an enormous challenge.  We need to get about 40 yds of concrete on a barge from St. Thomas and then from the barge +/- 250' up the hillside and into the forms.  We are looking to come up the learning curve that left 12 yds of concrete on the beach when the pumper hose failed on our neighbor's pour 10 years ago.

Re-bar laid out for the cistern floor.

 
Good news- the site survived 4" of rain on Friday with no major sloughs or slides.
