Mixing ConcreteThe method of mixing concrete employed by the Thai's where I am involves one chap standing on the platform by the concrete mixer who feeds stone, sand, cement and water into the mixer. Others hand deliver the materials to him using the funny bucket type carriers. Once mixed the concrete is tipped into wheelbarrows for delivery and placement in the formwork. chiymanJan 18, 2011

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!!chiymanJan 18, 2011

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.chiymanJan 18, 2011
