The Wall - Phase 2 Rebar

This first photo shows the very beginnings of rebar going into the start of the "J wall".  The vertical post on the right is the left most outer roof support post (eve edge rather than center ridge).  To the right of that is the entry wall that, at a point, will have a door in it.  The block immediately left of that post is the wall height for the inside garden area. 

The old lower retaining wall that is holding five pieces of tubo and just to the left of the formed area on the left side of the photo will be removed as it no longer serves a function in holding up earth. 
J wall measurements and placement

Alvarro and Marlon spent a good half day working out the radius and block placement options setting up the footings for the curved part of the J.  In the lower right of the photo you can see the top of the block at the entry space, and the steel post the is the outer left roof support post.

This is similar to the prior photo but from  a different angle. 
Here you can see the first part of the rebar basket in place for what will be the upper wall footings. 


Thanks for reading this far, more to come soon.
