Here is the completed house:

The project begins with stacking steel.

Matt (Owner of South River Construction) is always smiling while Rusty Hammel looks on.

Some slab dowels lined up.

Bracing laying on the ground.

Windows already bucked out and ready for installation.

Lots of forms to stack.

Vertical bracing to the outside to protect the slab which will be etched and stained concrete floors.

This window is already bucked in with V-Buck vinyl bucking.

Another shot of bracing showing supports for outside bracing and 2 vinyl bucked window openings.

View down inside top of 1st story wall showing a Simpson Tie, horizontal and vertical rebar and steel ties.

Vertical rebar sticks up past top of 1st story wall to form dowels for 2nd story. Foam tops are protected

in preparation for stacking 2nd story forms. Electrical home runs are show providing penetration points after

concrete is poured.

A corner showing rebar per code wrapping the corner.

Extra bracing for cut forms and water heater lines in the garage.

Rusty finishes top horizontal rebar ties.

The pump truck crane shows up.

Matt and Rusty supervise 1st truck of concrete.

9 men work one wall section. Scaffolding crew walk the pump boom around the top of the wall for the 1st

lift of concrete. Boom operator (middle top) seen looking on to control flow of concrete down into wall.

Wall is being poured from right to left. 2 man vibrator crew at top of wall make sure concrete is

consolidated down inside wall with a 14 foot whip inserted into every cell all the way down to the slab floor.

View of window bucking from scaffolding looking down - showing holes cut in bucking for concrete to

be poured below window ledge.

David fills the cavity below a window.

Rusty goes around top of wall leveling pour while Matt comes behind setting J-Bolts for top plate.

One of the last things done is to plumb the walls. This final step must be performed after wall is poured.

A yellow string line is shown affixed to inside wall and runs from one end of the wall to the other end.

Another view of the plumb line showing it running the full length of the wall. Corners are already plumb.

Crew foreman Chris Fitts uses a 2x4 to see where the wall is plumb. If the 2x4 won't fit the wall is pulled to

the outside. If there is too much space between the 2x4 and the plumb line, the wall is pushed to take up the difference.

Cleaning up after the pour.
