Stumped !

"You Have Me Stumped"..... this is the comment left yesterday,

on the Wordless Wednesday photo.  It was a collage of pictures 

I took of the foundation to the new cabin.

This is how they form the walls for the basement, by using plywood

wall forms.  Two sets of  wood walls are erected 10 inches apart, 

sandwiching the steel grid between them.  The little red keepers

hold the walls apart 10 inches.  This chamber will be filled with concrete.

The "snap ties" with the red keepers, come threw the wood walls

and these lockers cinch down over them, keeping the wood walls

 from blowing our when the concrete is being poured.

"

All of these braces keep "everything" in place till the concrete hardens

and all of this will be taken down to be used again for another job.

This is very labor intensive work.
