Main Structure

Form Work for Column PourNote that the columns forms are trued using a plumb bob and then locked into place using diagonal 2 x 3 inch wood members. Due to limitations in the amount of form wood, the columns were poured at two different times.dozer

Lightweight Aerated BlocksThese light weight aerated blocks are 7.5 centimeters thick and 60 centimeters long and 20 centimeters wide. It is a wonderful material to use in construction of a house based on the column/pier system. dozer

Tureing with the Plumb BobHere is a plumb bob in action. The form work is being trued. dozer

Laying Aerated BlockAerated blocks are not mortared in a convention sense. They are basically glued together (using the designated product) and kept secure by tying them into the columns with 6mm rebar which has been drilled into the column. A groove is cut in the block to hold the rebar in place. dozer

Keeping the Structure WetSlow drying concrete has the best strength characteristics and will develop structural cracks less often. Here water is being sprayed to the top of the columns to ensure slow, smooth drying. dozer

Ring BeamA ring beam is run horizontally around the entire structure below the window openings. Here we see the beam frame work in place. dozer

Ring Beam Form WorkThe form work for the horizontal ring beam is made of plywood. Notice 9mm rebar strips are used to ensure that the form work doesn't deform during the pour. dozer

LintelThe lintels about all windows are extended around the entire house, becoming a second ring beam (for added strength). Here we see the form work for the a lintel/ring beam. dozer

Door FrameA vertical beam will be poured on either side of the door frame. The nail seen extruding from the frame is used as an anchor. It will become embedded in the poured vertical beam and lock the frame in place. dozer

Bathroom PVC Door LockingThe bathroom PVC door has a similar method of locking it into place as a conventional door frame. The affixed hardware will become embedded in a vertical beam on either side of the door, locking it into place. dozer

PVC Door SupportsThe PVC door for the bathroom will deform easily. Therefore supports must be added to ensure that during the pouring of the vertical beams or the lintel that the door frame doesn't bend.dozer

Bedroom WallsThe internal bedroom walls were constructed of red brick. Notice the horizontal ring beam (extended door lintel) which spans the entire wall. This is required due to the height of the walls (3.15 meters). Also notice the vertical beams on either side of the door frame. dozer
