The workers are busy cutting and installing 5/8 inch steel "re-bar" and installing it in the footer mold of the foundation of our guest house / work shop. All day yesterday the air was filled with the sound and odor of the giant cut-off wheel as it cut through each bar. I am guessing that the workers will finish installing the reinforcements today. A building inspector must sign-off on the structure before the concrete can be poured over the cage.
The building codes in Florida have become more stringent due to the hurricane damage in Southern Florida. We have decided to use 2 x 6 wall studs instead of the conventional 2 x 4 studs. The exterior walls will be constructed with two layers of plywood.
The weather report for the entire week is no rain. With a little luck - the foundation will be poured before it rains.
