How to level the base

How to level the base

The first stage of construction of the house - laying of the foundation. The durability and durability of the basis of construction depends on it. All load bearing walls of the building lean on the base. Therefore the choice of type and the device of the base is made depending on the area and composition of the ground where construction of construction is supposed. For each geographical point there are standards of freezing of soil and its structure.

Instruction

1. Continuous footing is built by method of filling of solution in the predetermined wood form. Between layers of solution put reinforcing rods for durability and sheaf. If the difference in height is small, then enclose board of the necessary width under house framework.

2. If difference in base height more than 5 cm, it is necessary to level the base solution. Again make timbering of boards 10-15 cm wide, attach it to vertical walls, fill in with solution. Height of the base can be regulated laying of additional armature.

3. Alignment of the base is necessary since on the base the layer of waterproofing (roofing material) keeps within which badly keeps on uneven surfaces. If continuous footing "walks" on width, when plastering fill on it mesh reinforcement, level surface solution, then plaster.

4. The column bases are used generally for construction of light-weight constructions, summer lodges, collapsible panel board constructions. The column base represents the separate columns (brick or from asbestos-cement pipes) driven in the earth. On them then wooden bars or logs of framework keep within. Therefore if you have noticed that your base is slightly crooked, (it happens at independent construction!) just level columns by means of laying of additional ranks of brick.
