Ready For Concrete

I like to include a picture of our house in the air for those who can't imagine living in a house supported by four big Jenga games. I hope someone doesn't decide to try to play one of the games.
They have everything ready to pour concrete. They finished getting everything ready on Friday, but the people who do the inspections don't work on Fridays. The current plan is to request an inspection on Monday, get inspected on Tuesday, and pour concrete on Wednesday.
You can see little blue fixtures. They hold a bolt that sits in the concrete with a threaded end exposed. The threaded end is used to attach the wall to the foundation.
You can see our yard is turned into a bog. The mud tries to pull your shoes off with every step.
One side of the house has forms that are a lot higher than they need. On that side the bolts with the exposed thread are attached to wood blocks that are attached to the side of the form.
