The problem with that is it’s a death trap
During a fire I could not reach a window to get out

Here our building code says you have to be able to escape a basement in "one step" to daylight. I see they've got space for a window well on all 4 sides of the basement so those will probably have glass doors and ladders.
Over the weekend and today they're just adding more rebar. Looks like an iron mine.
It takes a while to make all of those ties. Once they finish with the rebar than comes the fun part of running conduit and probably plumbing as well.Originally Posted by jdurand

Never try to tell me it can't be done

Today there was a VERY LOUD sawing sound, it turns out they were cutting slots in the forms with a reciprocating saw.
And here's what the slots were for. A neighbor and I figured out it's to tie a garage floor to the building.
This is starting to get where my naighbor wants a drone to get better views. Anyone got a camera drone they don't need? Only needs to fly long enough to snap a picture or two before recharge.
In lieu of a drone get a tall ladder mount a camera tripod on top with a lanyard controlled gimbal to change positions then just snap away auto zoom might not be qa bad idea either LOL

They can pump the concrete in through a 4" opening easy enough but it takes longer to vibrate all the air pockets out.
At this point setting steel forms for a beam ledge leaves the design as a toss up. are they going to set gluelams or steel beams the ledge height suggest it could be almost anything even bar joists or precast.
That pattern of different anchor bolts suggests a location for a column if they install those in 6 or more locations that would be consistent with the need for hero columns meaning possibly more than 2 stories

I used to have a nice tall redwood tree right alongside the fence that would be perfect for a camera, but they cut it down.Originally expected US to pay for the cutting down.
Not too much changed today, they've added a ramp and are putting sill plate bolts around the forms. Also continuing to add more rebar and ties.
