    Normally, I think it's uncommon building a dungeon to be so openly displayed.

    I just re-solved their construction theory, formerly to show the material supplier how they can sell concrete and iron, to new reason.

    Here's today's picture, inside forms are going up. I see from their placement that the first floor will be cement, unless there's some other reason to leave rebar above the wall height.

    If it were me building it as soon as all of the inside forms were in place then use something like waffle dome forms supported by beams and support jacks pouring the basement wall and the ground floor in the same pour

    But they are going to need to install a lot of these to hold those flimsy looking OSB wood forms in place

    Ok, they took a left turn on the forms. They're putting a narrow section on top, so I guess the idea is to make a shelf to put the floor beams on. Not sure how easy it will be to fill the forms through the small opening but that's not my problem.

    Also, some new, different anchor bolts in the second picture.

    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

    Forms are slowly going in. There is ONE beam hanger that I can see, I assume another on this side. So, one cross beam?

    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 lumber
