Aug 12: Stem Wall Goes UP

Stem wall formwork positioned around Dining Room posts.

View looking NW from Guest Bedroom wing.

8 PVC sleeves shown in-place to penetrate an interior stem wall to allow 1/2" dia. PEX tubing to pass through, which will deliver solar heat to a proposed high mass sand storage zone located directly beneath the slab.

View of proposed Dining Room looking NW.

A segmented foundation follows a curve along the east side of the Guest Bedroom wing. 

Formwork jogs to create a wider stem wall to support a double width concrete block wall with insulation in between, for the corner of the Living Room behind the wood stove.
