Another hot humid day but we can't stop or we will never finish.  We try to take breaks and drink lots of water.
Sad as Graham went back to Montreal today.  He has work to do there so we had to let him leave.  He ended up taking the Whitezda because there are no great options for busses from Belleville.  Leaves at 9pm gets to Montreal at 5am.  Really? We had hoped bussing to and from here would be easier, but nooo.

Had Bill the plumber stop by again.  Just checking our progress and offering advice on where he will run the plumbing and what to keep clear for him.  As for taking down the block wall in the basement to make room for a door and stairway he says don't rent a saw just get a sledge hammer and make a hole then keep at it till it's the size you want.  Brian was a little sceptical.

Then Gerry the concrete guy came by to see what was happening and made some great suggestions on where to go next.  So we now concentrate on the wall around the garage/workshop so they can pour it first and then we can backfill.  They can then use that space to pour the basement on the other side.  He also told Brian to just take a sledge hammer to the wall and remove the blocks you don't want.
I guess we will try taking a sledge to the wall.

Back to work as we might get some rain, good or bad I don't know.

We were moving along quite nicely but have now stopped this bit and moved work to the front of the garage.

At least there is some shade in this spot.

We know we have made progress since the piles of forms are diminishing.

This is not a great space to work in since both the water and sewer lines go through the forms here. Still in the shade though.
