    Then we’ll dump a bunch of concrete in there & it’ll get hard & eventually crack.... very accurate statement

    I used symons forms for years I always pinch nailed a 2x4 on my chalk line both sides then built one side using dupex nails to hold down the forms to keep them from moving. Never had a problem pouring 12’ walls and easy stripping.

      Putting 2x4 first on the concrete then the panels ln the 2x4s

    You’d be surprised how much faster you can put up panels when you both work together. And you don’t like to pinch nail your bottoms on at least one side? I know it’s not completely necessary but it Sure does add a level of comfort on your bottoms moving or a section moving

      Youre absolutely right- we do that most of the time, but here we were just getting organized with this job and lots of family stuff going on

    What did you use for the lay out. Looks like a Trimble gps ? Or spectra lazer.

    Sydney is amazing! Bondi and Manly Beaches, the bridge walk and the opera house. I'm pretty sure there's also a museum of human diseases 😷. And you can eat all the crazy meats! Have fun!!
