These are photos of the ring foundation with the concrete forms removed. We had torrential rains overnight, hence the puddles. I bent the vertical rebar over and kept the safety caps on. The two portico monuments need to be poured next, and then we'll attach the airform all the way around. We are busy constructing the airlock, and making the electric cord for the inflator fan (150 foot length). Then we'll move the scaffolding up onto the pad (under the airform) and position the airlock and inflator fan next to the dining room sliding glass door opening. That is where we designated the airlock opening in the airform.
