"I have never let my schooling interfere with my education." - Mark Twain
We installed the formwork for the foundation walls today; we're using ICF's (insulating concrete forms) instead of old-school formwork (lumber); it's much quicker but more expensive supposedly. The ICF's consist of two foam panels connected by plastic webs that are joined by metal ties and serve as guides for the rebar. They are stacked like bricks essentially. Tomorrow, if all goes well, we'll seal them to the footings.
A semester's worth of information in two days. Perhaps the best knowledge came from one of my supervisors:
"I'm gonna go home, sit on my porch, prop my feet up, grab an ice cold beer, pat the dog, kiss the old lady, and remember the good old days..."
Things you can't learn in school...
