Yesterday we started on form work. we started off by talking about it and what we were going to be doing for the rest of the week which includes doing three tests. after smoko we started to do research on concrete and formply. after lunch we then started to look for a plan that we wanted to do and then we started to mark out the boundary of the block and then pegged out the area for the house. we could not use the existing fence as a guide because it was not square so dan and rob decided to use Pythagoras to get the side square and it worked like a charm.
Today we we levelled up one of the pegs 170mm or two brick courses high which is the standard step up for a concrete slab. while that was happening the guys were setting up the hurdles as we went around to transferring the reference point around all the hurdles. we set up the rest of the string lines and we had all that do by lunchtime. after lunch we went around the site and paul was asking us where the wall was going and we had to answer to make sure taht we could visulise what was going on. then paul went through and explianied about shutters and bracing units. afterthatwe split up into three groups and started to prepare all that will be required for tomorrow.
