Ran into a roadblock yesterday. The crew ran out of the outside corner brackets, and the supplier didn't have them on the takeoff for the ICFs, thus they had to order them and it will be a few days before construction can resume. I think delays are an inevitable part of construction, even ones like this that seem like they should have been avoidable.
One item I failed to mention in the first ICF post is that the ties joining the panels together contain channels. These channels are for rebar, each row will get rebar, alternating between an outside channel and an inside channel each row. The reason for alternating is that when you get to the top and put in the vertical rebar it can be slid down between the alternating horizontal rebar and this will prevent the vertical bars from being pushed to the outside.
Here are a few pics of where we are at. About 1/3 of the way up.
