WALLS!

Dad and I spent a good day getting ready to start building the walls! First, we measured out the exact placement of the garage walls, then screwed steel channel into the slab. These are used to align the walls and keep them straight, as well as secure the bottom of the walls during the pour.


After the channel was set, we started assembling the ICF blocks, starting from the back corner. As the blocks were laid, the horizontal reinforcing steel (rebar) was inserted.


By the end of the day, we had set all of the channel, and laid most of the first layer of ICFs. Tomorrow, the walls start going up!
