Hello everyone, I'm Eminentsam48 just around the neighborhood and I found this awesome set of unique friends of like minds who love the art of putting things together a d be creative about it ....ya
I'm talking you ...you add a color to all of this......Appreciate!!!

Okay guys recently I was at a building site and we already cleared the entire place but today we did the laying foundation for the fence to surround the building.... fencing is usually what we do like to secure the property and other working materials...especially in a remote areas like this......

SO FOR THE FOUNDATION LAYING today I will take you all to show how we do it here and building the fence and fixing the gate

So we start by digging the foundation

After digging then the site engineer will use a blump to measure the dept and uses a stick and the blump to measure the level

As the path is done we head over to mixing of the sands, gravel stones and cement pictures below

After the mixing properly which usually takes time then we proceed to pouring it in the foundation dug to for. A firm base foundation for the blocks that will be laid

Then we flatten it smoothly like this

When this is done we don't lay the blocks immediately but leave it for a day to solidifies after that began laying the blocks...

DAY 2
day 2 now is the blocks laying proper so we began measuring the sand and mixing it with cement

And so we continue till we are done for the day ....the we will leave it for two to three weeks before mount the gates.

The gate was brought in by a welding company before now we dug the hole for mounting the huge pillars that will sustain. When the gate arrived we just about 5 men held it up and placed it firmly in position. While we mix the concrete gavel stone sand and cement for casting the pillars
