    I see a couple places that could have stood a bit more attention with the vibrator. There's an easy fix now that you can see it, but I'd go tap tap taping on the walls and see if there are any hollow spots. Fairly important to make sure water can't get in and rust the rebar.

    I should have vibrated those, they are interior walls and probably won't be exposed to water but it would make the finishing process easier. I don't vibrate the exterior walls because they are 12 feet high and 12 inches thick which is pushing the limits of what I can do with plywood forms but they are coated with tar so that should help.

    Installed a few beams for the roof today with the tractor and some man power.

    The roof is ready to pour concrete.

    I dare say you are a few "chairs" short. That rebar does not want to be in contact with the deck.

    We slipped some scrap rebar under it this morning.

    They should make these trowel machines with headlights.
