RUKINGIRI - Tuesday, July 31st

Posted by vroomer in Uncategorized

AFTERNOON - Hard work on the site today. We framed the foundation, prepped and poured concrete. This was truly a team effort and thank God, because the methods were um, simple.

RECIPE: HOW TO MAKE CONCRETE FROM SCRATCH

INGREDIENTS:

LOTS of sand, LOTS of rocks(creating from hammering larger rocks moved earlier), concrete mix and water.

PROCEDURE:

We mixed two types of sand - using shovels and hoes, we filled wheel barrows with sand from separate and huge piles and brought them together inside the framed-in foundation. There, we used shovels and hoes to mix the 20-feet-in -diameter area of sand. It felt like kneading dough but with sand. Next, we hoed and shoveled rocks into wheel barrows, wheeled them 30 feet and dumped them onto the mixed and spread out sand. The rock part of this work…hoo boy. That’s a good workout.

Water, obtained from the nearby creek was used to fill “Jerry cans”, a.k.a. gas cans, which were then hauled about 100 feet to the aggregate mix. Once again, this was hand mixed - turning and turning the mixture, concrete was made and shoveled into the wheel barrows. Another 30 feet or so, and the mixture was dumped into place, over and over again. The foundation was underway.
