Well - the foundation for the house and garage are now completed. The steel reinforcing took a couple of days to put together by hand . The reinforments go under each wall and the chimney. The concrete arrived last Thursday - it took about 60 cubic metres to do the house and garage. The garage is about 3m by 10m and the house is about 16m by 9.5m . The wooden shuttering to support the concrete was removed on Friday - now we have to wait for the concrete to cure - officially that is 28 days - before block laying can begin. We might start a bit sooner than that.
The concrete used was 30N (Newtons) strength. Physics was never my strong point - but basically the strength of concrete is measured in Newtons.
Pictures of progress to follow soon.
