    Today's Pitiful picture from a different angle. You can see the sewage sump over by the white bucket. Fo size, that's a 5 gallon bucket.

    I am thinking the wall may be 14 feet but the actual ceiling height will be much less due in part to the ground floor mechanicals and utilities
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    Today's images of the Masters of Advance Planning.

    Today they ran PVC drain pipes under the rebar to connect the rain sumps to the main sewer sump. I didn't know you could pump rainwater into the sewer, but in any case I wish I'd watched how they got that pipe under the rebar.

    Well, the guys showed up before the I & chickens were awake today to start pumping concrete. I notice there's a cement truck blocking our driveway and our garbage cans (it's garbage pickup day).

    O hope once they get around to setting the inside forms they support them better than the ones on the outside.
