Chiyman's Low Cost House - part 1 - substructure and ground beams

Land purchased and area leveled ready for construction after settling.chiyman

Another angle on the levelled land awaiting construction in 7 months time - after the rainy season which will allow the land to settle.chiyman

Steel for the Footings placed with Concrete pipes for the below ground sections of the columns supported with yuca poles.chiyman

Footing in place, supported on clay bricks to allow concrete to flow arround the pad. Pad overall dimension 1.5m x 1.5m steel cage dimension 1.3m x 1.3 m.I had to complete the first stages of the construction quickly so decided to use the conceret pipes to form the below grade section of the columns. This allows backfilling of the footing as soon as the concrete had hardened and avoided the need to construct wooden forms.chiyman

Another view of the footings before the concrete pour.chiyman

Clearing the way for the Concrete truck. (The chaps who had dug the holes had left the soil right by the edges of the holes).chiyman
