Carving done...maybe
Joint from where they ran out of concrete and finished the next day.
Almost normal looking section

This thread is getting more painful to read every day
Never try to tell me it can't be done
When I have to paint I use KBS products
Nicely timed last photo - when the sun shines perfectly in form the side, thus revealing the 3-dimensionality of the wall surface...
That's a FEATURE, very few people have Waffle Walls. They charge extra for that.Originally Posted by DIYSwede

I heard more power hammering today, so they weren't done carving. They haven't packed up for the day yet so please hold for pictures.
Today's photos. The first two are a poor man's drone (A-frame ladder (which actually cost about as much as a decent drone)). They were carving a bit more on that same section of wall, they finished hammering partway through the day so I guess that's done.
more voids uncovered today
The view from the west
I'm going to speculate that the carving was done due to a bulge in the concrete due to the shoddy materials used for the forms.
I don't think I have ever seen that amount of porosity and outright voids in a vertical pour since a visit to Yemen in 2011 to inspect a construction project we were making the steel structure for. It was painfully clear that the Ministry of planning and development had been bought off as every phase had been rubber stamped without and accompanying inspection documentations.
I suspect on this house construction there will be a huge amount of spackle patching before the moisture barrier is sprayed on

The construction quality is 10 worlds apart.
Are you doing your own General and hiring subs or do you have a general taking care of everything?
Either way is I were thinking about going into home construction I would hire the person overseeing in a heartbeat "Pin It")
