Foundation Walls are Up!
Ben Schmidt of www.benschmidt.tv a Fredericton NB and Oromocto NB Real Estate Agent video blogs in his "building Entlebucher" series of constructing a new home...
So we've got the footings in place, the next step was to put up the forms, which is the wooden walls, that will actually support the concrete pour. We've set those in place, and had Northside Foundations come out and pour the concrete.
One tip for you, when you're pouring your concrete wall, is to make sure you use a vibrator to release any air pockets in the concrete pour. When the mix is poured into the form, you then run a vibrator down, through the top of the form into the mix, and it makes all the air in the mixture, rise to the top and release, thus ensuring no air pockets inside your pour.
