Slab Still Ok

The slab is still ok with no cracks.

It was a big day today. I spent all day preparing for the block layers. I put in more starter bars. Really to stop lateral shift. I drilled holes and used sikafex to glue them in. It won't do much in the hold down department. The block walls are designed to be minimally classified as re-inforced masonary. There is a reinforced three brick high bond beam across the top. I cut and bent extra steel for the top as well. One in four cores are filled with concrete.
