Getting the floor ready for pouring
- Set laser level semi level enough so the self leveling works and at the rough height required.
- Switch on and turn around and be amazed… oh…I still have a bit of digging to do. Sigh!
- Ready for boxing
Basement floor ready to pour
- All leveled and ready for concrete. Still a pity I can’t really do anything about them piles… YET. ($$$) not enough of it. However once the floor is in I am not sure what I am going to do as I won’t know my own shop… lol
- small trench dug… filled with stones to drain an excess rain water that does get in.

Basement Floor – Ramps
Those of you that know the layout of the land around our place know that access out the back and in to the basement is limited… and with a wheel barrow fill of concrete well lets say difficult so ramps need to be made.
- Ramp down front stairs
- Nice level ramp into the basement.
Basement Pour and Framing
- paint the ole coal range support and now new fire…
- Where did all that wood come from… sob… where is my new space gone… 🙁
- This was empty the other day…
- GE DIGITAL CAMERA
- GE DIGITAL CAMERA
- primer coat (Click image to see what it use to look like)
- Free marine ply from the neighbour… free is good…
- Round drain pipe had to make the hole bigger than I wanted else I couldn’t get the sheet in due to the angle of pipe etc 🙁 nothing that can not be covered or blocked later on.
- Framed evenly to fit.
- Under window, notice the dwang position.
- Frame to piles and make even… Nothing structural required.
- Oh the wood came from there, the next part to do…
- Anyway the next pour is that lower deck patio. Then ready to build lower deck.
- Not exactly 100% how we are going to do the next bit. As we have to probably put in a small retaining wall… but it will be a small step up due to the pile depths etc … but will keep you all informed.
