CASTING THE GROUND SLAB [being edited]

So how is it done?

Materials: You need a well compacted base, hardcore, cement, aggregates and lake sand together with Mesh reinforcement popularly called BRC.

Mixing: You need cement, lake sand and aggregates.

Application: [coming soon]

Casting the ground slab. And everything now seems to be on course. The speed is cool...okay slow to the others but reasonable basing on the circumstances(no storage space yet)...hence whatever we bought had to be used up that very day.

Today we got the maxspans for the slab over the gulley. I changed the design a bit and now it is possible to use 5"maxspans and not 7"maxspans as long as that place will forever be used for toilet, bathroom, washroom, e.t.c

Today's work involved;

-timber shuttering for slab over the gulley,

- cutting, bending and fixing the bars

- putting in place the maxspans,

- adding on BRC.

I am out of money. Only remaining with 1m for the y25 bars.

More updates later on first floor works. Need to prepare for timber posts, more timber, more reinforcement, maxspans. This floor is going to be lightening speedy.

The building will be the best!

ciao!
