Loomps as my triper Drivers call it, is a sizable stone that is used for dpc before the dpc concrete slab. It also serves as a reinforcement. It should be "rump stone" anyway.

thanks for sharing knowledge. I know those to be boulders or hardcore.

First slab boarding has gone far...

Checking the number of bamboo on ground to know if we will need a make up... This will be completed later this morning. The rod are ready for the 1st slab fitting.

Surprises, we bought 16mm at #2,450 yesterday and a bag of cement is now #2,300. What is our faith to achieve our projects with the rate materials prices are increasing drastically?

Still on it , we have used about 300 planks, 200 poline, 340 bamboo stick, 50 pcs of 9" board, 2bags of 3"nail, etc...

First slab wood structure completed...

Sorry I don't understand your question.

Nice work. Can u give us the cost update of the project. Thanx

Nylon mat is highly recommended by me because it helps to prevent leakage during slab/ decking cast and concrete workablity is sure.

For posterity sake internal beam is advised in a large room Or space when decking is involved. It's spacing too is of a higher importance...

Here we use 16mm for all the beams and internal beams, the entire steel rope (rings) are 8mm, while we used 12mm for the slab mat all through. The step is combination of 16mm and 12mm as well...

When they have concluded with the fitting, I did a final check and inspection after some corrections, I invited my electrical engineers...

Running the conduit pipe....

And after the inspection , we have to close up some block holes (slab and beam cast preparation) one of our directors visited the site for details and more....

However, the Network was too bad that I couldn't communicate this earlier but it's all good.

So we continue with concrete cast, beams and step first and with a smaller aggregate to achieve the best.

Casting the beams

Because of the bad road leading to this Amaorji site, I may not use my usual casting equipments and machine because no means to bring them here hence is still raining....

So we continue with the manual concrete mixing method but with pocker or romance machine. We first did the beams and now the slab... This time with more labour because we have to finish the slab the day we started it as usual.
