8 Small 120 Pound Cabin Footings

Back


One by one
The process of making footings is done at our home in Port A.��I made a wood box that we installed rebar and poured cement.��After it hardened, it is removed and we do it again. The top of the block is large enough to hold a 8x16 cement block.

The cement is left for 24 hours then removed to make room for the next one.

Adam and Val both helped by getting water, mixing some of the cement and holding the rebar in place while I poured the cement.

I am not a cementologist, but in the reading I have done, cement will cure stronger if it is damp for a few days.��I use a towel and a springler head on a VERY slow drip to accomplish this. Normally, it would not be hard to keep it damp in October, but our weather this year has been in the mid to upper 90s and it would dry out the cement too fast.
