WES (L) AND DAN |
Concrete: Wes and Dan worked on a concrete walkway from the street to house. Carting earth, mixing the concrete, pouring and smoothing. Scott was helpful with doing the shoveling and sometimes moving by wheelbarrow and sometimes by bucket load. Also completed laying the base concrete on the floor of the house. (Later a finish concrete layer will be added.)
Rebar: This was 420cm long rebar, fashioned with support bands, bent by hand and twisted into place. These were tied vertically into the ends of the brick wall and will be filled with concrete for support. Cutting the rebar to length, cutting the bands and fashioning into the columns which we jokingly called "cell towers".
It was a mini production line and if you follow the photos, you may get the idea.
