2nd Floor Walls

 The walls are 6" thick, cast-in-place concrete.  There are over 200 tons of concrete in the walls!
~110 cubic yards

The 2nd floor walls are up and the view is amazing!

This is a view from the living room.  The glass opening is 24 feet wide!  The concrete forms will come off soon.

Flying Floor Trusses

Now there is a second floor.  The upper concrete walls go up next week.

Concrete Walls

The first floor concrete walls have been poured.  Check out the view from the first floor.  I can't wait to see the second floor view!

Wall Forms

The wall forms are going up!

Walls Started

As soon as the concrete was poured, they started placing the steel for the concrete walls.

Foundation complete

The foundation finally got poured.  They used a 32 meter boom pump to place the concrete.  The foundation has 73 yards of concrete.

And a Hurricane

There have been some minor delays.  The plumber was busy and it took a while before we could get the rough plumbing completed.  Then hurricane Matthew blasted through.  We stopped work and secured everything.  There was no damage to the property, though there was a lot of beach erosion.  Finally, the concrete guys could finish the foundation.
