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.
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.

No work today in the pit, but along with the sill plate bolts they've put in a few pairs of LARGE bolts. One pair can be seen sitting on the table below and you can see a couple pair installed on the far wall. Big beams go here? Maybe the mount for that overhead crane to move around the pallets of gold bullion?
They've also closed off the door in the forms, added a ramp and a ladder to get in/out.

One of the reasons why I questioned the bracing on the wall forms I know OSB is supposedly stronger than plywood but At 14 ft in height to me at least there appears to be a lacking in bracing. We'll just have to wait to see how many through ties they put to hold the inside form to the outside form
