So I think your answer and this one are the keys. I have company this week, but I hope to get to the site during nap time Monday or Tuesday and get some pictures and see how high that concrete really is.Julie Markhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11263863405353025499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599222840274804102.post-43669222645152811212013-06-30T19:15:13.860-06:002013-06-30T19:15:13.860-06:00It looks like the cement pools are replacing norma...It looks like the cement pools are replacing normal dirt as fill around the lowest basement. Any reason why they would choose cement instead of dirt? The obvious answer would be because it would provide a more sure foundation. Any other reason?Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14777506515290986427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599222840274804102.post-11005882112308169802013-06-28T09:34:08.451-06:002013-06-28T09:34:08.451-06:00I am also very interested in how the temple will b...I am also very interested in how the temple will be connected to the new foundation. I know it will be a big deal when the weight is transferred from the I-beams to the foundation and I hope to be there to see that. I don't believe the interior rebar behind the shotcrete is below grade, but my interior pictures were not as good as I wanted. I will watch this. Let's hope I get some answers.Julie Markhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11263863405353025499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599222840274804102.post-42388550083502149092013-06-28T09:20:13.343-06:002013-06-28T09:20:13.343-06:00You are way too funny
