Round Pipe in a Square Block

We finally got the rest of the Faswall blocks we needed to finish the West wall but didn’t have the cement mixer to use. So we worked on a couple of other projects.  One was to fit two vent pipes through the blocks for our future air-to-air exchanger.  This Fasswall material is great to work with. I was able to cut the holes in them with a jigsaw.

 

We also pulled electrical wire through conduit for the lighting circuit in the bedroom.  Because of a change in the window placement, the conduit coming through the concrete shell is in the wrong place. Now because of how the window will be framed, it has to make a couple of sharp turns.  This would be too difficult to pull wire once we frame in the window so we pulled the wire while the conduit was “loose”.

I built this wire caddy to make it easy to combine the different wires.  With me pushing and Jeff pulling, we got it through the conduit.

 

Next weekend we hope to have the mixer back so we can finish the wall.
