How did you know? Actually, I forgot, only for my whole family to sneak in and wake me up by 6am with a birthday cake which they baked last night. Thank you very much.

Better late than never
Happy birthday boss, may the Lord's favour never depart from you.

Lap length of rods is supposed to be at least 1 meter. If only 5 inches show, maybe you insert rods to lap on the short rods before the next continuous reinforcement.

in this situation, that casting has been completed. Is it advisable to crack the casting and then insert the reinforcement rods.

This is coming out very well Chief. Welldone

Observation/question: I noticed that no rod extended from the front pillars after the decking but now I see planking for top front pillar casting. Does it not have iron work in it?

See first and second pics

Thanks for your observations, there was a rod reinforcement coming up from the decking at the front columns, this rods came up from the ground floor, up through the decking, we did a block wall around it before dropping the rod into the right spot, we cast till 4G mm and then build a wooden formwork on it, cast it with concrete and added a line of blocks to create a wider column there. You can see the rods from this picture. .......

Thanks for the clarification sir. This appears to be a little modification from the original 3D image posted on the first page. Great work by the way
