Thursday week 2

Arrived today to find that the steel reinforcing for the bond beam (on top of the tyre wall) had been completed. I finished off with some porcupine nailing, into the tyres, which helps the concrete "stick" to the tyres.

Then some pick and spade action to level the floor a bit. After that, Phil taught me how to build some formwork for pouring one of the concrete buttresses that will help support the main tyre wall (north wall).

Did some concrete mixing too.
