| Tower section - this is where the pond is going to be. |
Our timing on the footings was just perfect, it started
raining on Thursday night and has been raining off and on for the last
week. We had a couple of nice days and
have been removing the forms, so far we have the tower section done and the
inside of the lower level. As you can see in the picture above the forms didn't leak! I was so pleased!
The 2x6 in the "pond" represents a rock that is going back in there... it is about 3 feet wide by 3 feet thick by 10 feet long and will be orientated in the same direction as that 2x6.

We had a half inch of rain over night (5 May 2012) so our work site is pretty muddy. A couple of days of sun will dry it out.
The Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) are due on Monday or Tuesday (7
or 8th of May). They stack
like Lego’s so they go quickly. We are using two different brands of ICFs, the estimator on our garage project way over estimated the number of ICFs that we needed and then wouldn't take them back! These have 10" cores so we are using them for the tower section - they will have to withstand the water pressure.
We are hoping to be ready to pour concrete about the 17th.
