1st course

The first course of Flexcrete is done! This course got the mortar joint underneath so required the extra step of mixing mortar.

This is the same short wall from the "Corners Post." As you can see, we cut a small block to fit the space.

Basically how things look at the moment. The first three courses have the most cutting and fitting to do because of all the electrical outlets. After that, I'm hoping the middle courses go faster.

Pulling wire

So here we are at the main panel. Above my head is a spool of aluminum wire which will carry power to our house. The smaller cable is the ground.

Kristi and Bill at the sub panel. This is over 200 feet away from the main panel. The way we did this is as follows. First, we use a shopvac to run jetline through the conduit. Jetline is a lightweight, but very strong cord. Once that is through we cut it and tie a rope to the jetline and pull that through. Now that the rope is through, we attach the wire and cable. This is where the equipment comes in. The wire is very heavy, so Kristi would pull about 5 feet at a time as I guided it through.
