Just when we thought we would never have to deal with white foam panels, here they are again. On the East retaining wall we used corrugated plastic panels to form the wall. But we found them to be difficult to get the shotcrete to stick which resulted in a less than pretty wall. (we were also just figuring out how to use the sprayer) This time we decided to go with the White polystyrene foam boards that we have left over from the forming of the shell for the West wall.
It took much less effort to set up the forms and thus went along quicker. Here Jeff is tying wire through the foam to keep it in place for the shotcrete…..Which will start tomorrow.
