Started this job last week ( or was it the week before?). Not an overly large house ( around 3,000 sq ft ) but reasonbly challenging. I'l try and find a way to post prints.

Cutting the site.

Mark, the concrete going in is that blinding concrete? do you box after? I've never seen it done like that we normaly have 250 high boxing then pour.

I do enjoy seeing the different building techniques employed "down under".
But some of your nomenclature leaves me scratching my head.

Digging and dusting. (dusting?)

Plumbers install subs. (my plumber is a sub!)

Blinding concrete. (?)

Keep posting the pictures - just be prepared to translate once in awhile.

Hi John

No not blinding. 25 MPA. It's too big a pour to form and pour. These footings are 600 by 300 then you have another 250 above that. ( fall into one of those suckers when you're screeding and you may not get out )The reason for the split pour is when you pour mass like that it would affect the finish on the slab ( drag down literaly as its going off and give you a really awfull job )as well we use the footer to place our pegs in and then nail off the forms to them. ( Disclaimer. I never use this method. The only reason I'm doing it here is because the plans call for it. There is no brick on this job so we can't do our usual brick base. )

Hey Terry

"Dusting" or " Dusting Up " is derived from the material used as a blinding. This is crusher dust or cracker dust from the quarry. It's the fines left from the crushing process and is a cheap and excellent product for this purpose.


"Subs"..yes my plumber is also a sub but in this case I refer to "Sub Drains" or "Subs" for short.

A " blinding" can be concrete or sand ( or dust ) and is used to avoid using excess concrete or help bring RL's up to height.

pretty awsome pour... can you show the secondary forms you'll build on those footings?

also.. why didn't you do your "dusting" after the first pour ?

Mark , I noticed the plumbers installing drains after the slab is formed up we haven't done it that way for years. Our plumber installs sub drains after set out and the concretor works around his pipes, easier for the plumber and the concretor doesn't get his preslab messed up. Is that way its done up there or is it specific to that job.
cheers John

just job specific.

Today we got two floors poured. Beautifull day, though a mite chilly at 3 C at 6am
