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

The workers camp with excess concrete being used for a place for washing. The workers like to stay in the tent which they regarded as more professional than constructing their own accommodation!!chiyman

The Electical Authority man with his wife - they were perfectly charming. He did his work very professionally and also helped with the breaker installation. Thanks.chiyman

Ground beams being placed in position on top of the below groung columns - lots of water applied to consolidate the footings.chiyman

I am the proud owner of Brand new concrete mixerI bought this in town and had it loaded onto the back of my pickup. Was a bit concerned while driving it to the house especially when I needed to go up some steep hills. The journey took much longer than usual!!chiyman

Ground beam formwork in placechiyman

Formwork and reinforcement placed and ready for concrete pour the next daychiyman

Formwork for ground beamsI checked carefully to ensure that there was sufficient space between the reinforcement and the wooden formwork. Some adjustment was necessary. If the steel dosent have a concrete cover (of sufficent thickness) then it will be exposed to the atmosphere and will corrode. At best this will show as a dirty brown mark on the exterior of the structure and at worst, over time could cause structural failure.chiyman
