"Mr. Belvedere" – Upper Level Wall Forms

Posted: June 24, 2002

The crane for lifting inside concrete wall forms into place...

A 26 foot tall form section...

Flying...

In place...

Guest bedroom (Dane's bedroom floor will be about one foot above the short section behind Laura)...

Kitchen (master bedroom floor will be about 1.5 feet below the top)...

I guess 26 feet tall, 9 inches thick, of (not quite) "full liquid head" (but still "quick lift") concrete is expected to be heavy...

The site with the inside of the concrete wall forms erected...

Eight feet wide, by nine feet tall, arched opening from patio into kitchen (what's blocked out won't be concrete)...
