Today we started the morning off with a bit of forming for the post haste, which will be packed in under neath the beams where more support is needed.
Our first piece was cut out of 1/2 inch ply, we employed the finger technique in our scribe, its pretty self explanatory.
Since theres relatively no pressure behind the ply there are no other procedures other than attaching the piece to the beam in which we used 2 1/4 inch common nails
Heres what our form looks like. Sadly though, we have to hold off on the next step untill the temp goes a little higher. The temp should be about -7 with a wind chill of -20 so no pouring :(
Our next chore was to prep for our next beam and seeing how we are overlapping the beams we needed to mark and cut out were the next beam will lie.
Now that the beam is cut, we only need to hurry up and wait for th material to arrive.
A birdie told me it should arrive tomorrow.
Since were already at the work site,we decided to go ahead start the next project that is tied to this project, a deck and walk way to the mechanical room. We started with removing all items from the work deck that was built to finish the house after framing was complete.
Its always a good habit to pull all nails as the demo goes to keep ahead of the tedious tasks as well as promote safe work procedures. There will be a walkway connecting the upper deck with the retaining wall planterbox,with walkway connecting the deck beneath the house to another walkway to the mechanisal room.
