Vijay Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 Fed up with it swaying in the wind when setting out, I tried using yellow fishing line which worked much much better. Also used one of these to save wasted time getting knots and twisted string - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fire-Wheel-Kite-Reel-Winder-Handle-Tool-Twisted-String-Line-Outdoor-blue-grip-JD/122946257498?var=423394593303&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D49138%26meid%3D8bd97070c1c14068970f737be115f9d8%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D152899083637%26itm%3D423394593303&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851
Russell griffiths Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 How’s it going any pics im just trying to work out the best way to get this beam and block tied in to an icf wall.
Vijay Posted April 20, 2018 Author Posted April 20, 2018 Nope you need to do a site visit What's the issue? I'm hoping to put the beams into their exact positions next week
Russell griffiths Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 Just trying to work out a way to sit the beams in without having to concrete just a small portion, as trying to avoid a dry joint in the concrete. I want to be able to concrete all the way up to ffl in one pour with the beams in place. C mon give us a pic, then I can work out if it’s worth the two hour drive.
Vijay Posted April 21, 2018 Author Posted April 21, 2018 I had to do exactly what you didn't want to do. All I had to do is have rebar joining the 2 lots of concrete (foundation to 1st ICF course concrete) and then there is another lot of rebar to join the first ICF course concrete to the next pour. I guess there could be a way depending on how many floor beams and how difficult your layout is.................
Mr Punter Posted April 21, 2018 Posted April 21, 2018 Crikey @Vijay what size footprint? Maybe an optical illusion, but does it span several post codes?
Vijay Posted April 21, 2018 Author Posted April 21, 2018 Not sure of the footprint but including the garage, outside walls are around 125 linear metres
Russell griffiths Posted April 21, 2018 Posted April 21, 2018 Well one things for certain, its a pretty colour ??

Russell griffiths Posted April 21, 2018 Posted April 21, 2018 It’s funny the stupid things you think about, but it is bothering me the fact of having a stupid coloured house for a year before I clad it.
