Foam and Rebar Done

On day three, they continued to spray foam and hang rebar ties.

This the very top of the dome. The last part to be sprayed with foam.

The foam components comes in two barrels. The white barrel is isocyanite and the green barrel is resin. They are combined as they are applied.

On day four, they sprayed the top of the dome, hung the rebar ties, then finished spraying it. That concluded the foam spraying. Andrew hung all the rebar ties in the dome.

On day five, they began to hang rebar. Here is Michael helping Andrew tie rebar.

At the end of the first day of rebar hanging, they had hung 10 rings of rebar around the inside of the dome.

I didn't get any pictures on the second day of rebar hanging. Here is Roger, Andrew, and Jeremy hanging and tying rebar on the third day.

At the end of the third day.

The top of the dome on the middle of the fourth day.

At the end of the fourth day, they completed the rebar.

Ready for shotcrete.

Andrew admiring all the hard work.

For eight days, the whole team worked really hard. Thank you to Melvin, Roger, Jeremy, and, of course, my husband, Andrew.

After, Thanksgiving break, they start spraying shotcrete. Yeah!

Woooo! It is really coming along. It is so neat to 'watch'. I was just coming to gripe at Lexie because she said she was going to post more than you had, but then ya'll had a post, so I didn't.
I can hardly wait for the dome to be done!
