November 2 - Grade Beam is Formed

Wednesday, Thursday and today the forms for the grade beam of the garage were built. Tomorrow they get filled with concrete.

If you look closely, you can see the styrofoam used for the void form. This allows for shifting of the ground underneath the grade beam without affecting the grade beam. Also some of the rebar is in place.
 
From the back looking towards the street. All formed up & braced.
 
 
Looking down into the forms. Sorry can't flip this picture around so you have to tilt your head. lol. At the bottom is the styrofoam void and then rebar. The grey pipe is to route the Hydro service wires through the grade beam under the garage floor and into the house.
 
From the front of the garage. You can see where the 2 doors on this side and the 3rd door on the back will be.
