Poured Footing98 viewsThe poured footing. The footings are poured and then the ground beam is tied into place around the footing structure. dozer

Ground Beam Diagonal Member96 viewsThe ground beam contains a fifth strand of 12mm rebar which runs in up and down diagonal fashion to increase strength. dozer

Lintel96 viewsThe 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

Column Form Work94 viewsThe 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.dozer

Laying Aerated Block92 viewsAerated 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

Bedroom Walls90 viewsThe 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

Keeping the Structure Wet89 viewsSlow 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

Tureing with the Plumb Bob89 viewsHere is a plumb bob in action. The form work is being trued. dozer

Column Holes88 viewsThe holes measure 1 meter wide and 40 centimeters deep. dozer

Column Frame Mesh86 viewsThe column footing frame is 90 centimeters wide (square) and includes a top and bottom lattice. The lower frame is composed of 9mm rebar with the column frame composed of 12mm rough with 6mm connectors. dozer

Lightweight Aerated Blocks85 viewsThese 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

Column Frame Mesh84 viewsAnother view of the footing and column framework with a 1.5 liter water bottle for size reference. dozer
