We finally poured the theatre walls on Saturday, the coldest day this year. It went very smoothly with Billy and Larry in charge. Kelvin was also on hand helping Larry with the hose and pump. Debbie's dad ran the on/off switch for Larry. Billy and Debbie ran around helping. These ICF forms are wonderful, and they only took 9 yards of concrete. We had visitors from Plano, Texas on Saturday too, Arnold and Sonya Williams - they will build a dome complex in Sebring, FL.

Now we start forming the stairwell (like Jim Kaslik's) and get ready to pour the second floor. The Insul-deck should arrive this week and we'll start assembling it right away. We'll remove the kickers and braces from the theatre walls on Tuesday.  We'll start forming up the wall around the front door very soon too. Then we can stucco around it to make the entry complete.
