Taking Shape

Here it is the middle of the week and I'm late posting our progress! The big news is that our wandering RV finally arrived after taking a side-trip to Honolulu! This will make things easier because we can now work on-site as well as watch over our materials and tools.

Our contractor has been busy running batter boards and stringlines to layout the building foundations. This photo shows the big picture with forms for the sheer walls and posts as well as an 8' x 8' slab for the laundry room.

These two photos show the foundation forms up close: the upper one is of the sheer wall footing at each corner; the lower one is for the posts under the lanai (covered porch). The outer 2x4s are the batter boards to offset the stringlines. Iron stakes are driven into the ground to hold everything in place.



This is from a different angle.
