in

looks like we'll get the foundation in before the weather goes to hades


and


screw the framer (aka- "hapless hubcap")


you would think I would treat myself better.


anyway


gps and robotics sure have changed staking a house- took  the surveyors all of forty minutes to set all the hubs. (about twenty)


in fact they worked so fast I didn't get any pictures of them

Not a thing.

Just laughing at the "since Chillicothe was the state capital".

That was 1816 wasn't it?

Congrats on the project. Look forward to the updates.

No footing forms?

From the pics it looks as if you placed the mud directly against the pipes.

Is the inner pipe a "radon" pipe or a drain pipe?

Almost no form boards.


Pretty slick system- the tile gets laid out and leveled (form stakes are 1/4" rod with a heavy wire hook that engages the pipe. The top of the rod is coarsely threaded  and the hook moves up and down the threads to adjust for elevation.)  The pipe is kept from spreading by the stakes and gravel.


Basically all they are doing is "form four/ dig four"   but there is nothing to strip. Couple that with using the track hoe for the dig part and it is very efficient. ( and no form boards that need replaced as they wear out.)


Both tiles are drainage to daylight coupled with a sump. Maybe overkill but nobody likes wet "feet."
