September 15: Form work for the foundation

Here is a quick update on what has been happening on site. Today we spent a lot of time working on:

• Building forms for the grade beam (foundation) for the GreenShed. 
• Preparing rebar for the grade beam, and tying in to the existing slab foundation.
• Staking out the large garden and plotting out where the raised beds will go.
• Getting materials and supplies. 

The work is moving along with the help of carpenters, the housing crew and many community members.

Curtis continues to work on the forms.

"Official" site supervisors take a break on the bales.

Ange and Crispin stake out where the raised planter beds will go.

The team took many photos every day from the same spot, so at the end of the project a time series can be put together to show the whole construction process.

Charmaine & Joy add soil to support the forms so when the concrete is poured they stay in place.

Ange and Heather inspect the day's work.
