Hi All,
As I look at Doris and Ron's pictures, I see why they put the posts in first so the roof could go on and cover the work in progress on the wall. I think this is brilliant and got to wondering if this 12" post was overkill. If there is rebar and wire in the column, could it be smaller, say 6" diameter with rebar, still hold up the roof or top plate/beam and be completely inside the wall? I do like the rounded corners but if these columns were spaced 8' to 10' apart and hidden inside the wall it would seem to satisfy even the peskiest building inspectors. They need not be all concrete but rather a 1.5 concrete to 1 paper/cardboard mix would suffice.
Doris, you are going to have to tell us what you did behind the electrical boxes we see in one of the photos. Did you run conduit behind them in the PC? How many pieces of rebar did you put in each column? Are your columns PC or cement?
You guys are awesome keep us updated.
Ron
