The wall forms were completed on the 11th - this is a detail shot of some of the rebar and a window form on the East side of the downstairs family play room.
They put nails into the window forms at a bunch of odd angles so that when the concrete is poured on the outside (nail side) the nails hold the window forms in securely. The actual windows will be mounted on the inside (non-nail side) in a few weeks.
These are the completed forms. The lattice of rebar inside is really a few tons of metal reinforcement - much more coverage than I anticipated.
Lael enjoys doing quality checks at each stage of the game. Most of the bracing for the foundation forms came from the old house and will go to the wood recycling site after the forms are removed.
