Wednesday was a busy day. We poured the sidewalk - floor slab - foundation wall insides - and ramp. It took 6 guys 6 hours. It looks really great. We put in the pipes for water - sewer - and electric. The concrete has fiberglass in it. It was poured over a steel lattice.
Things are moving faster now - materials are arriving and they are already starting the exterior walls. They are using 2 x 6 boards for the wall studs and frame. It will be then covered with a layer of plywood and a layer of hardiboard siding. Hardiboard is a hot item down here - it is like concrete - does not rot or get termites. It is 1/2 inch thick and takes paint well. It had a grain pressed into it when manufactured. They will use treated plywood for the first 4 feet of the exterior walls.
