After most of the rebar was finished, we took several days to finish the windows before shotcrete. We restricted the airform to the V bucks for the flat planes of the windows. We pulled the tops outward to give a crisp, plumb edge. All the wood forms are temporary until after the shotcrete, they will hold and not drift around during the shotcrete process. We are trying to beat our self imposed deadline of June 1st, the start of Hurricane Season!!!
