Day 49

The gap between the bond beam and the roof is now sealed off. We placed slightly bigger pipes to house the conduit pipes for easy access when there is need for repairs.

More of the gap being sealed off.

Now starting the shotcrete under the eaves.

He sprays a thin layer of cement evenly, then comes back to do another layer. He will probably have to do this at least 4 or 5 times depending on when we can achieve the desired thickness of the concrete. They had to make the cement/sand mix watery so it can shoot upward easily. It is not so when we did the wall as it is simply a horizontal spraying direction. Spraying upward has resulted to a lot of sand falling off when it dries up. There's so much left over. We forgot to put tarp underneath to collect them so we had to sweep them off, which stirred up so much dust. Today we made sure that tarp is laid all over the floor for easy clean up later today.
