We are still working on the burglary proof and windows of this house, may be ready for installation tomorrow.

just going through this thread tonight.....an eye opener it is.

my questions as a layman;

1. why did you dig out EVERY of the foundation of a structure (toilets, rooms, kitchen, dining, ......) when you knew that you are gonna cover the whole up with "DCP" later on....... its just like when erecting structures on deck (no foundation needed)

answer: for bungalows, the wall are load bearing structural element. depending on the roof type, any part of the building that will carry load from the roof should project to the foundation level. most time toilets, dining partions wall are not necessarily load bearers and hence don't need to project to the foundation.
sometimes, since the roof truss is a type where inter beams rest directly on the block, it may need to projecy to the foundation level.




2. When erecting the "semi-raft", wouldnt you have have saved more money attending to the perimter only instead of the whole area
Making it (semi-raft) taller around the perimeter would have still stopped the water from flooding the foundation dug.

3. When is "nylon" required to be used on a building?


answer: Nylon is required to prevent capillary rise from the wet soil below the foundation into the partitions wall. This rise causes wetness of wall after sometimes and this may leads to pilling off of paints or other finishes material. in summery it destroyed the aesthetic of the house.

4. Why the reinforced concrete on the semi-raft (foundation) before setting ur blocks?

Would have saved more money there.

It's just a matter of choice, one is not better than the other. Some people prefer classic to modern.
