Spacers in WalkwayPreparing for the walk way pour around the exterior of the house. Although they are placing spacers they don't really work well for a floor pour as the rebar gets stepped on and bends. Here they are using 6mm rebar and wiring it together as opposed to the prefab welded rebar mesh. dozer00000
