Rather than building forms from plywood and then insulating
we decided to use the Quadlock system as it does both of those things in one
step. First we tied in our vertical rebar and then began putting the forms
together was fun, it was like stacking big foam Legos! Once we set, leveled,
and put spray foam under the track for the first layer, it went rather quickly.
The white foam blocks are held in place by yellow plastic braces, which also
provided a cradle to tie in the horizontal re-bar.
After the forms were up, we braced
the center as we ended up with a seam going down the middle of the wall.the wall. Next we set up the scaffolding which we rented along with
the Quadlock system.
