We’re building cages for the upper porch bond beams. We use our rebar bender/cutter to cut and build rings. Then we wire them in place. We build them horizontally and then lift them into place. We are getting muscular at this point! We had to go to town to arrange paperwork for receiving Lite Deck for Monday. This is the styrofoam ceiling/roofing material. It has channels that have a steel beam running along it. That gets poured with concrete, which forms I-beams when poured. We got it from a knowledgeable man in Puerto Rico. We did a short snorkel at Francis. Saw some gorgeous yellow and blue French angels and a pretty big flounder. It was beautifully camouflaged on the rock and in the sand. This place is the perfect beach for an after-work dip. It’s right there, it’s empty, and it’s got great snorkeling
