First you need to find a space, test the soil of the soil for construction work. It is best if the soil is sandy, gravel, or sandy-rocky.
Further, taking into account the degree of moisture in the earth, you need to dig a hole to determine the soil, clearing the area of debris, weeds, trees, leveling the surface. Strictly following the plan drawn up, we make markings on the ground, literally measuring the length of all sides, hammer the reinforcement, breaking the corners at 90º, and reinforce it with reinforcement. Then we pull the line along the perimeter of the foundation..
The next step is to dig a trench. The bottom of the trench must be leveled. Next, sand is laid out at the bottom of the trench, about 15 cm in height, and tamped before watering. The walls of the trench itself are allowed to be coated with cement — so that moisture from the concrete does not go into the soil. To increase the strength of the foundation, it is better to use reinforced wire.
In the lower part of the foundation, we lay a reinforced wire 10 cm deeper than the bottom, then lay out the mounting rods 40 cm laterally and fix it all with wire. We make such a basis in 3 parts of the foundation. This is useful for us to evenly distribute the concrete throughout the level. Pouring concrete is best done using a high-quality concrete pump, which you can buy on the above website.
The trench should be poured in one step, it is not worth delaying the work for a long time. We compact the concrete and straighten it. We give the concrete a chance to dry. It will take about 10 days..
Now let’s get down to the upper part of the foundation From bricks or blocks, you need to make a basement. Its laying is done like laying bricks. Of course, if concrete is used, then for the source it is necessary to determine the formwork. Formwork is being prepared from planks or plywood, which are later nailed to the racks from the inside of the foundation. The inner side of the foundation is completely covered with plastic wrap and poured with concrete. As soon as the concrete grasps, it is allowed to clean up the formwork. To protect the foundation from water coming from the ground, it is allowed to waterproof it. Having previously lubricated the surface with bitumen, you need to glue it with a layer of roofing material and leave it.
That’s all. The foundation is ready for the upcoming continuation and construction work. A firmly laid foundation does not suffer from seasonal and temperature changes.
