Building the frames for the "bank" walls

Because the barn will be a "bank barn," the back and side walls need to be poured to hold back soil and water coming down the bank. Today, the workers are building the aluminum forms that will hold the cement to form the walls. We are not sure when the cement will be poured, but certainly not Wed. or Thur. with highs in the low 20's and lows in single digits. Ice skating is likeky this week. Here are views of the forms being raised: Hopefully, we'll get a thaw period after this winter blast, so that cement can flow.
