Camp Update #2
The Foundation Walls are Poured
On Monday June 8, Neil Cress and his crew started installing the forms for the foundation walls. There were more or less completed by the end of day Tuesday and the concrete was poured on Wednesday, June 10.
Great progress has been made during the past week and a half. The next stage is to remove the forms, stud up the basement knee walls and then pour the basement floor prior to installing the interior load bearing basement walls. Once these steps have been completed the engineered floor joists go in.
We have been spending a lot of time in Digby over the past two weeks. The new shed is very comfortable to stay in. Bob has cleared a number of trees from around this building and we now have a great view of Porter’s Lake and Duck Cove.

The forms were almost completed by end of day Tuesday. When this photo was taken part of the inside north wall form had to be added.
Last minute adjustments to the form.

A very short break for the crew as the pumper shifts to a new wall.
Once the pumping started it did not take much time to fill the forms.

Combining two photos with a photoshop action gets interesting results.
Another example of what photoshop can do.
