Oct 11: Raising the Walls, Day 3



Actually, no walls were raised today.  Today we regrouped and measured twice.  Todd discovered that some SIP walls were not cut as perfectly as he would have liked to have seen them cut.  I met Todd on-site, and we spent the afternoon locating both interior framed walls and masonry walls with the aid of my laptop and triangulating measurements taken off of the perimeter stem wall in preparation for the next push to raise the remaining SIP walls, over the next couple of days.  The following time-lapse video demonstrates the technique of measuring twice.






Our tools for the day are a tape measure, laptop, and plans.


We were instructed by Terry not to allow dogs, caulk lines, or black soled shoes to mark the slab while it is curing for the prescribed 28 days in preparation for staining.  Todd and I took our shoes off and walked on the slab in our stocking feet.
