 |

 |
| The neighborhood |
 |
| Sometime soon after July 9th and before July 21st 2012 [http://wholegrainsurf.blogspot.com/2012/07/well-im-floored.html]: the light colored rectangle on the driveway is our trailer with all the subfloor piled on it. |
 |
| All the formwork & bracing etc GONE GONE GONE |
 |
| Bracing mostly down except the horizontal ribbon boards: just below the change in shade of the walls. E did this alone, I was in Florida. Getting the horizontals off was a 2 person job that needed te flying Wallendas |
 |
| Doesn't look like it's changed, but it's full of it: concrete FIVE concrete pours and NO blowouts: and Elizabeth's formwork was ALL good |
 |
| Cistern blocks full of concrete |
 |
| the last of the concrete pump: John from Chuck's Concrete Pump is a professional and a gentleman |
 |
| The boss in action: keeping the 3 ring circus in line |
 |
| Last minute prep before the concrete: we can do with a little [a lot of] help from our friends |
 |
| The calm before the pour [concrete that is. |
 |
| More cistern action: brother James trapped inside |
 |
| Telling that box who's boss! |
 |
| Muscling block into place on the cistern/screenporch foundation |
 |
| Not everyone's lucky enough to have contractor that looks like this! |
