Cameron, Interesting video. Regarding the above video : Cantilevered Concrete Eyebrow What is the weight of that eyebrow?

Lbear, I never did calculate it exactly but about 7-8 thousand pounds. Thanks for creating a link - I did not remember how to do that. Regards.

Hopefully it was encased in foam (to avoid losing ~1/2 of a good chunk of the wall's R value).

Jonr, The top was insulated well and flashed. The plan was to spray on a thermal break on the bottom and edge but I didn't see that portion again until it was covered up. I don't recall the spray on being in the plan. Regards

Great video Cameron! Nice to see some of the forming prep and reinforcement before the pour.
