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.dozerSep 27, 2011

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. dozerSep 27, 2011

Bathroom Door after Pour of Vertical BeamsThe bathroom door after the vertical beams were poured.dozerSep 27, 2011

Squaring Off the Window OpeningsThe window and door openings are squared off after being initially roughly finished. It is after this process that they will be the correct size and position. dozerSep 27, 2011

Pour of ArchwaysThe archways are formed using plywood forms (as shown). The base of the form work is rounded pieces of plywood supported by 2 x 3 inch wood strips. dozerSep 27, 2011

External True LineAn external true line is used to indicate the target external edge of the to be poured columns. This line should square up the same as the initial check did. dozerSep 27, 2011

Column Form WorkThe form wood utilized is two sizes, 10 inch and 8 inch to create a column size approximated 8 inches square (which is 20 centimeters). You often see them nowadays going with 15 centimeter columns with minimized rebar (on other projects) which just doesn't have the durability, leads to structural cracking and worse.dozerSep 27, 2011

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.dozerSep 27, 2011

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. dozerSep 27, 2011

Tureing with the Plumb BobHere is a plumb bob in action. The form work is being trued. dozerSep 27, 2011

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. dozerSep 27, 2011

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. dozerSep 27, 2011
