The shotcrete event, to cover the rest of the house of rebar, should commence Tuesday - TOMORROW! Final preparations are happening today. They hope to be done Thursday. In retrospect, the forms and rebar for the house took months with the shotcrete in 3 days. It could have been done faster as it wasn't a full time crew. For one set of retaining walls, the forms took about two weeks (footers and walls) with the pour in a half day.
Today, final patchwork is being done on the burlap mesh. Any additional rebar, mainly at the parapet area, is being finished. Any excavating needed for access by the shotcrete crew will be done. The electricians are here to ensure our ceiling fans won't fall in on us within our lifetime. And carpenters are here to make props to ensure the shotcrete has enough support and stays where it is supposed to and doesn't impinge on our living space. And preparations are underway on the inside to alleviate an exhaustive cleaning effort after the fact.
