The framework for holding the reinforcing bars in the correct positions, has
been constructed using our pile of 63mm CLS timber. We drove in pegs and
posts to hold the framework together and get the straight lines. this was done yesterday and Friday.
We then spent today (Sunday) mounting the re-bars themselves onto the “rails”,
positioned at every 225mm, which is the repeat distance between the holes in
the hollow concrete blocks.
And we used broken pieces of 50mm concrete paving slabs to stabilised the
steel rods in the bottom of the trench.
we didn’t finish this job until 10pm tonight!! we had to get this done before tomorrow and the arrival of the ready mixed concrete!! Phew!
