it is always nice to have company on the site, last week we had a pair of chicago architects Ravi Ricker and Cheryl Noel of Wrap Architecture. They were a big help and it was great to have 4 extra hands on site for a few days.

We finished up the edging on the east side of the grade beam as well as finishing epoxying the bolts on the grade beam. They also helped dig the slab turndowns of both jutouts which was a huge help. as well as getting ready for the slab to be poured we finished laying out all of the water piping and got the electrical conduit ready for the wire to be pulled first thing next week. at this point pretty much everything is going according to plan if we can get the bobcat first thing this week we should be able to fill in all the trenches for the plumbing and start forming up the slab.

hopefully we will be able to pour the slab within the next 2 weeks. we still have to get all the form boards up as well as laying all the plastic, wire mesh, and radiant floor tubing. if all goes well we should be ready to go by this weekend. we still need to grout under the columns as well as finishing the column welds and welding the receivers to the bressemer beam.
