Update: April 8th

Today, we managed to get several people to come out and work, even though it is Easter Sunday. We were able to finish preparing the site for the pour. We needed to finish leveling the center section of our slab elevation and build the last two rebar cages above the ground as an experiment. We placed the rebar on top of some paint buckets we had laying around. Tying rebar closer to waist height improves efficiency and ergonomics. It worked well, and gave our backs a break since we weren't bending over the entire time. The real test will come when we move the cages into the formwork later this week.
