First you need to find the space, test soil for construction work. Best if the soil is sandy, from gravel, or sandy-stone.
Further, taking into account the degree of moisture of the earth, you need to dig a hole to determine the soil, cleansing the terrain of garbage, weeds, trees, leaving the surface. Strictly following the drawn up plan, we make markings on the ground, literally measuring the length of all sides, we score the reinforcement, breaking the corners of 90º, we still strengthen the reinforcement. Then we pull the fishing line around the perimeter of the foundation.
The next step will be the digging of the trench. The bottom of the trench must be leveled by level. Next, sand is laid out at the bottom of the trench, about 15 cm high and tamped before watering. The walls of the trench itself are allowed to be coated with cement substance – so that moisture from concrete does not go into the soil. To increase the strength of the foundation, it is better to use reinforced wire.
In the lower part of the foundation, we lay a reinforced wire 10 cm deeper than the bottom, then transversely 40 cm. We spread the mounting rods and fix it all with wire. We make such a base in 3 lobes of the foundation. This is useful to us for uniform distribution of concrete throughout the level. The pouring of concrete is best done using high -quality concrete pump that you can buy on the above site.
The flooding of the trench should be carried out in one craft, do not delay the work for a long time. We seal concrete and straighten. Give concrete probability to dry. It will take about 10 days.
Now let’s proceed to the upper part of the brick or blocks of the brick or blocks. Its laying is done like laying bricks. Of course, if concrete is used, then for the source it is necessary to determine the formwork. Formwork is being prepared from boards or plywood, which are later nailed to the racks inside the foundation. The inside of the foundation is completely covered with plastic wrap and poured with concrete. As soon as the concrete sets, the formwork can be removed. To protect the foundation from water coming from the ground, it is allowed to waterproof it. Having previously lubricated the surface with bitumen, you need to glue it with a layer of roofing material and leave it.
That’s all. The foundation is ready for the upcoming continuation and construction work. A solidly laid foundation is not terrible seasonal and temperature changes.
