First Concrete

Today it was time to add concrete to the platforms that was ready for it.

Was everything ready for concrete?
Rebar - check
Pillar rebar connection - check
Cleaned - check
Distances in place - check
Forms ok - check
Concrete quality - check
Vibrators connected and working - check

OK, two concrete trucks arrived - 4 m3 was poured into the forms

To avoid to much moving of the soil, only half of the holes/platforms are ready for concrete. Later on when these are ready, they start with the remaining ones. The vertical rebars is for the pillars from the platform and up to the ground.


Important to keep the area clean.

Concrete Truck

Ready to start filling the forms

Filling, many workers.


Using vibrators to get air out from the concrete.

Looks good?




Noticed something on this photo.
Check the nice repair of the electrical socket/wires. 
Not so important here - enough secure to get the job done.

Community water

Perfect timing. The community have started to dig and mount water pipes right outside my fence, so I will get water from both the well and the community = no future water problems!

Many bars

Back to work, Today the workers done many rebar "cages" after delivery of materials and a rebar machine. The three cages that was done before was made of 16 mm rebar that was a leftover from their last work. Now the rebar is 12 mm (as planned). Some pictures:
