Rookie Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 The budget is $20k, and I should be able to do it for that/at least get close. Bear in mind that I am doing as much of it myself as I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 So work after the holidays has finally started up again. 70 and I dug some holes... And then we put some of the plastic down and put the mesh where it needs to go. And in typical me fashion we ran out of plastic so that is as far as we got. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookie Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Is that a pro tip? I legitimately have no idea what I am doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Better to over kill it, sux when your box blows out. Did you a sketch. http://imageshack.com/a/img22/2459/90hr.jpg Can have a second peg closer too and then you use that to set your heights on final nail down after getting it square Get the foundations correct otherwise it will just be a pain in the bum all the way up to the final roof flashing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 what are you doing this weekend rookie dave, you need a hand maybe?/the hotpools need a bit of looking at? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EURON8 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Is that a pro tip? I legitimately have no idea what I am doing. After a quick look at your photos yes, yes that is a pro tip. Unsure on the ideal spacing of your pegs but needs more than one every 3000 or whatever it is in the photo showing the foundation piles.

MRWEST Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 old boy who did my floor said one every 600 with a brace peg as well although that was for 300high boxing..a.nd hes a pedantic old dude haha sucks when floors not straight and your shed wall all wonky so better to over do than under!

Rookie Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 The peg spacing is 1m ( you can kinda see it in this post), and the boxing is all pretty gravy in relation to the string lines which are perfectly square and true. It is 150mm high though so I think in strategic locations I will add some reinforing for sure. Cheers for the diagram Russel, shit looks cash. And Pete, I am going to a wedding this weekend so unfortunately not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyGal Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I would put another peg in between all your existing pegs, and have a 45 degree bracing peg right beside those, and screwed into the vertical pegs. Reinforce all the joins in your boxing as well with a cleat screwed across the back of each join. Even though your boxing isn't very high there's still a huge weight of concrete trying to bow your boxing out so it must be well braced. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookie Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Haha no not yet, that is the problem with 11ty billion projects is that you only have so much time. I got all the steel in place and it has had the green light from the council to pour the pad, so I am just trying to organise a concrete placer at the moment.
