Waterproofing Underway

Last week, Bill, Carol, and Kim undertook the task of starting the waterproofing process.  Tuesday, Bill and Kim powerwashed the structure.  Wednesday, Bill, Carol, and Kim applied primer to part of the main structure.  Thursday, we applied more primer, and started applying the Liquid EPDM on some of what we had previously primed.  

Primer Applied

Applying Liquid EPDM

On Friday, we were joined by Henemias and Christian. We applied Liquid EPDM over the primer and then added more primer so that the whole main structure was at least primed with the top still needed the Liquid EPDM.

Applying Primer on Top

On Saturday, Alfredo, Lilly, and Keith joined the ranks (a few too many hands) to apply the Liquid EPDM to all of the previously applied primer.
 

Finishing on the West side

The day's work done!

We sat back and rested and waited for the rain.

No leaks where there was Liquid EPDM.  Some leaks where there was no waterproofing material.
                            SUCCESS!

We still have to finish the West Annex, the tunnel and the retaining wall joints.
Now we await dry weather so we can finish the waterproofing.  We need 4 days in a row of no rain.  Perhaps after Father's Day.
