After an eternity using a laser and making sure we have a slope of 1cm per meter we now have the base layer done :) If I understand correctly I now need to rent a machine to compact everything tightly before putting the visqueen layer and the armature.
You will want to make sure the slope remains after compacting.
Is the 1 cm per meter put the draining water somewhere that can take more water ? I suppose I've been seeing a few posts about backyards having standing water during rainstorms and I am somewhat intrigued about the topic atm.
This is my next nemesis : routing the conduits to my basement while keeping as much as possible of the 12cm foreseen for the slab. It’s an old staircase when they still needed to shovel coal in the basement. At some point someone closed it roughly with some prefab slab. So clearance is limited if I want to keep it as is and not take it apart (which would be… a long and shifty process). I’m currently missing about 3cm. I’ll see this week if I can grind them somehow.
Level? That depends on how closely you measure it. See The Coastline Paradox. Now get back to work!
Ooit eens proberen doen met dit ding. Ik denk dat een laser veel makkelijker is.
Allez nog veel plezier met de verbouwingen!
