It IS Progress - That Tedious Rebar Tying

Mario's crew is still working on the second layer of rebar.  It is a big chore.  Hector has joined them.  And Carol and Bill have helped a lot, too.  The Mayflies have been a hindrance.  

An hour and a half's collection of mayflies

Bill, with some help from Justin and Stephen, has been chipping away at the dirt next to the tunnel.  
The plumbers have been here to extend the drain pipe and install the two-way cleanout.  This is in preparation of tomorrow's concrete pour - the South patio.  It will be in place to support the South wall and South parapet forms when the framer's can make it back, hopefully the week of May 21st.  
We had some insulation delivered which will go under the South patio, to keep our PAHS dirt within a warmer range.  We are also having mortar mix delivered.  Carol has been preparing our used bricks from the old farm house which we demolished last summer.  Bill and Keith and Carol plan to work on Saturday to brick up the wall at the end of the tunnel.
