The construction of a brick house is an exciting experience though it is quite tiresome. What are the requirements for the construction? Below is detailed information on what workers did at construction site. The very first thing is the building of the foundation.

In the very first week, the workers started with prepared the site and foundation. After measuring the area, they have used Excavator to dig the site and because of the heavy equipment, it took about 3 to 4 days to finish up the foundational.

Soon they finished digging; the workers started the next day with pour water on the foundation to be a flat surface and coherent, to preparation to build the footing of the house.

The second week, workers were having hoes, shovels, spades, travels, and rakes. Also, were others picking up Ax and a mattock. The work began with the digging trenches with were 3-4 'deep and 2' wide. While some used the mattock, pick Ax and hoe to dig the foundation, others used the shovels and spade to remove the soil from the dug place. Some other workers to flatten and make even the surfaces that were being dug used the travel and rake.

(Third week & fourth week) After successfully digging out the required trenches, the workers then constructed two footing boards to be used on each of outside corner and middle of the foundation. They used a 2×4 lumber, several nails, and hammers to build the footing boards. The workers proceeded with laying the perimeter. At this stage, the employees checked if the corners are equal.

The workers then set up wooden walls, which would be used to the walls for the foundation. To hold the boards tightly, the workers used metal bars, which they placed inside the wooden frames. They then mixed the concrete and poured it on the foundation. Before the walls of the foundation dried, some of the workers used the hand tops to flatten the surface over the foundation. This made the cover even for the construction of the walls that would precede the foundation. After the foundation is put to the same level, they sprayed the foundation with waterproof coat.

Then dumped gravel onto the newly dried foundation and dispersed it using a rake. They made the gravel be uniform at a level of one inch. To prevent moisture from the foundation and gravel, they used polyethene. They essence of preventing the moisture is that it would impede the foundation from cracking.

(5th week) After that, workers left the foundation about a week to be stronge and coheren.

The following week which is sixth, workers started to double up the metal bars and got a concrete mixer truck and pour cement on the foundtion. At this stage, appeard metal bars from foundtion which means the footing is ready to build the first floor on it.

( In week 7 and 8)

started to build first floor on the footing by blocks

Week (9&10)

I want you to talk about installtion thoes things in the pictures
