First Home Garage Wall Form Work

Just got back from the job site now, and we`ve had great progress on the garage wall forming already. This will be the front of the home as you head into the garage. With the concrete garage and black siding, the home should have a nice presence in the neighborhood. Just need to trim that tree a wee little bit!
Here is the slab all finished up. That big rectangular hole in the front of the picture will be the `hori kotatsu`, or sunken dining area. The step down will be the rear porch.
This would be the view looking off right. Don`t make me chop those power lines!!
I am pretty much standing on what will be the level of the veranda floor, and this is the view looking off left.
Since the walls will be poured in place concrete, once the forms are removed, that`s it. The finish at that point will be `what you see is what you get`. Therefore, the boys brought out nice, new clean sheets of plywood. The white sheets affixed to the plywood will help to keep rough spots in the concrete further in control.
