- All steel and form work completed for the foundation and planning to do the casting for the footers. Found a huge water issue and making it a plus instead of a negative. Plumber came by and did his thing to address this later in the construction process as it will not slow the progress.
Government inspection was performed on the steel work that was done before pouring concrete without any issues; pump truck and concrete trucks were there doing their thing. Cistern walls and foundation walls already on the way.
Enjoy the journey with me.

Wow, yes, on the plan, it looks small, but when you actually see it, it looks big!! Wowbcant wait to start my journey!!
Save your money....Keep away from that excessive shopping buying stuff you don't need. Stay focus on your goal and don't listen to anyone when they try to deter you from achieving that goal.
@@thejourney-buildinginthebv4981 ain't that the truth people do try to deter you.. idky but it's all good.. my ear goes blank lol
Watching from St Croix started my journey as well 😊
Thanks for watching. Even though I'm not local there at this very moment, I'm very much involved in what the guys are doing on a day to day basis to address any issues or make a correction that needs my feedback. It works well when you have a good crew looking out for your best interest.
Watching from St Vincent
Thanks for watching. New video will be uploaded soon.
Now the real thing begin!
I'm taking donations as well :)
That water back there is going to be a problem for your foundation if not handled properly. It should have been identified during the site ground testing in the preliminary stage. Well, that's if site testing is required in the BVI.
It's under control and in planning.
Nice Tom. Glad to be here on this journey with you. It’s good to see the work in progress.
Did they pump the water from the foundation before they cast?
There is a pump on site but most of the water was dried out before casting the footers with concrete. The water problem is being addressed and the plumber started part of the remediation with running pipes to have the water flow under the building and come out in the front. Other drainage is being added with gravel and pipes behind the wall once the foundation wall is completed to remove any extra water. Knowing the water is there, we can't leave things as is and it have to be addressed.
U r building in what looks like water shed area which should preserve
Well, this is one of those situation where preservation will loose as it's on my lot. : ) I was also told that whole area there are a number of those underground channels but I just happened to come up on one by accident. Water was always on the foundation pad but we never knew why until seen it for ourselves. This is an area they called Spring Ghut as there was always water running down from the hillside somewhere. Growing up I never really knew why until we found that underground channel.
