Little House in the Jura

All about our house-building project. We're building a house in France, in the Jura mountains overlooking Lake Geneva. And when we say "building" we mean it. Everything from the foundations up to the top of the basement with our own fair hands (plus those of friends and family). Sometime towards the end of 2008 (all being well), a log home company will come and build a log structure on top of our slipform masonry basement. Between now and then, there's a lot of work to be done ...

One step forward, two steps back

Went up to the site intending to finish off the inside part of the formwork.

On trying to prop up a sloping bit of form with my nice standardized 45 cm spacer I realized the forms for the central wall weren't 45 cm apart. Some re-measuring revealed that one of the strings was 3 cm out of place.

So instead of adding the last piece of formwork to the inside, I had to take out two of the existing forms and cut them down by 3 cm.

Not what I had in mind for this evening's work.

Grrr.
