Today our builder’s crew worked at completing the form for the retaining wall footing. The footing is 3′ thick on the sides and 1 1/2′ thick in the middle. The rock slinger was used to place several truck loads of rock into the footing to raise the centre.

Tomorrow NBE will be paving the road so our builder will have little if any access. The rebar people were busy on Friday so they will come on Monday to install the rebar for the retaining wall footing. Next Tuesday is inspection day – both RDOS and the Structural Engineer will inspect the forms and the rebar. Next Wednesday our builder is planning to pour the concrete for the retaining wall footing. Hopefully the weather will cooperate by being warm enough to pour without expensive insulated tarps and heating.
