Reno Day What?

Losing track of days for sure!  Not much appearance-wise changed today other than they started the CMU wall that joins the old space to the new space, and they chipped away most of the form blowout on the interior wall.  All of the rain yesterday caused a slight collapse in the old well.  They are going to be removing most of the dirt and then filling it in with concrete to stabilize it.

Lots of decisions were made today that help get us through to next week with a definite plan in place for being able to finish foundation-related work and switch to framing (finally!), all weather permitting.

Plumbing inspection is scheduled for Monday and the plumber will take care of everything from here on out.  I will of course be checking his work on a daily basis.

Waterproofing begins tomorrow, weather-permitting.  Concrete company is handling the work but I am supplying much of the material.  I had to drive all around town today to pick up some special adhesives and primers, but that's all taken care of now.

Weather is going to be the biggest factor in the next week or so, as I believe rain is expected tomorrow, followed by extremely cold temperatures (probably too cold to apply the waterproofing).  So, the waterproofing may be delayed, but the plumbing should be done by Monday.
