Geoanalysts to learn about the conditions of
the project’s underlying soil, the landslide that

Later, James returns to the site to find Homeworks’
Jason Sztuba, hard at work building the forms in
preparation for the pouring of the concrete. He discusses
the different rebar sizes used to build the grade beam
cage and how it is cut and attached
