Week 2 Trench foundations and starter blocks

(0 reviews)

Despite the yellow weather warning we luckily had the coastal wind pushing it away, most of it fell on Tuesday but only 6mm

The trench foundations are excavated and inspected.

Then the concrete poured, and the first blocks laid followed by dolly blocks and internal supporting wall starter blocks

Total man days of labour for week 2 is 13

Ooh you got a jenson. 

We specialise in restoring Jensen’s, that one is a customers returning after a test drive but we also own a few and hope to sell an FF to fund the build.

FF = Ferguson Formula - A 4 wheel drive system that was applied to quite a few marques back in the day (Jenson and Opel)

 

I've got more knowledge on the Opel side (as they are what float my boat) that and the fact a Jenson is out of my budget :D

Is that a telescopic boom on the concrete pump?  I like the look of that, and I suspect it really helps in getting the right amount of concrete in each place.   I will be short handed when I pour our footings, and I think something like this would really help me to get the concrete where it needs to be, and not be frantically shovelling vast quantities to the far corners.   What was the charge for the pump?

I’m sorry I don’t know cost of the pumps they where part of the builders quote for the foundations. The pumps came from a local quarry about 15 miles maximum, they had at least two like this and it could reach the far side about 20 meters from its parked position. The pump operators were all very good remotely moving the telescopic boom to the correct position.
