The monster firewall continued...

The rowhouse framing project is moving again now that the new year arrived with extremely mild weather.  The second floor firewall was set up and poured by the cribbers yesterday, and the forms are coming down now.  What we are left with is another 10 ft section of wall (total of 30 ft), but it is still too short to be as high as we need.  So yet another pour will be necessary, this time it will mimimc the shape of our roof trusses plus 6 inches, however that ends up.  

Mild conditions allowed for another pour without additional tarping or heating.  The wall itself is a barrier to movement within the building for those building it, quite a pain as well to deal with.

This is the look of the massive concrete firewall once it was stripped. Second floor walls are progressing nicely.
