Never try to tell me it can't be done

More supports, wonder how many houses worth of wood this is?
Yes and just think 90% of the wood used in those forms will be hauled off as scrap to a land fill or hopefully to places that sell used lumberOriginally Posted by jdurand

Cement pumper here, guys scurrying around finishing the forms.
something sure doesn't look as if it went exactly as planned but maybe they are having to carve due to a change after the forms had been put in place or maybe what ever needs placed there it is easier to carve out the relief. But for what ever reason there still seems to be a lot of voids tat are going to require filling which should not have happened. If you see voids like these in as many places as we can from our limited view angle there are probably even larger more numerous voids we cannot see. This pour needs sounded 100%.
If not then let's hope it is only a 1 or 2 story But I'm not up on residential all that much all I know is any civil engineer I ever worked with would have that entire pour brought down he wouldn't even consider allowing an inspector seeing it to write up a report. What would have been the big deal to rent a few vibrators for a day?

Pouring above, adding bracing below. No cement vibrator in sight.
This thread is getting more painful to read every day

They all packed up and went home, but it looks like they forgot to finish one section.
This morning they topped off the part of the form that wasn't finished last night. I can't believe they left it partly filled overnight, that's got to make a poor seam.
They've spend the day stripping and cutting up the rest of the forms to haul off. I'll see about getting a photo when they knock off for the day.
I'm going to speculate that the carving was done due to a bulge in the concrete due to the shoddy materials used for the forms.
I don't think I have ever seen that amount of porosity and outright voids in a vertical pour since a visit to Yemen in 2011 to inspect a construction project we were making the steel structure for. It was painfully clear that the Ministry of planning and development had been bought off as every phase had been rubber stamped without and accompanying inspection documentations.
I suspect on this house construction there will be a huge amount of spackle patching before the moisture barrier is sprayed on
