Works has been going on past few weeks. So far the far the foundation walls has been levelled, sand filling commenced immediately. We use laterite and compacted before we fill to level with sharp sand.
Also conduit plumbing services were done too.

The gate has been mounted and plastering followed suit.

Hatesin:


With this 3 feet depth foundation, what's the minimum number of courses of blocks that can be laid to have only one course above the ground level?

On a level ground 4 courses is ok.

This week we are posed to round up with the foundation walls and commence with back filling and sand filling of the foundation before casting dpc.

Last week we did quite alot Iron works to form works for the chaining of foundation wall beam. The site is a sloppy one. So we had to play with levels as deemed fit. Pics below.

We have procured the church gate and we preparing for the gate to be mounted.

Copping still in progress

All foundation walls levelled for beam casting. Next we are preparing also for columns to be casted too.

Works done

Getting workers during this festive season is really a challenge. Because we plan to incorporate the locals into the workforce but as it failed, so we had to do with few workers we have and as well multitask to get work done in few days.
Below are pics of the excavation, mounting of columns, casting of foundation blinding, column base and foundation bed. Also we immediately started laying foundation walls on beds that has set. Also we prepared ground beams to fortify the foundation.
