  1. A worker is laying down spacers so that the rebars stay away from the edges of the concrete. This ensures good traction and that they stay protected from rust. #multiresidence #buildProcess

  2. #multiresidence #buildProcess ground floor concrete has been poured and being kept wet so that it doesn't crack.

  3. I should point out the seismicity of Greece at this point as the reason for the quantity of the future concrete and the density of reinforcement bars. #multiresidence #buildProcess

  4. Not much progress the past few days due to the, among other factors I presume, long weekend. #multiresidence #buildProcess

  5. Then, they started assembling the reinforcement bars for the footing slab, starting with a mesh.

  6. Some wild rebars appeared!

    The bottom of the pit is now lined with a thin concrete layer (screed or "cleanliness concrete" as we call it in Greek) and the walls with nylon. This provides a good environment for the "blacksmiths" to set up the reinforcement steel.

  7. And, done! The truck takes away the last of the excavated soil. I wonder how they didn't reach the water bank. I remember you could swim in the excavation for our current office, and we used a pump to dry the pit.

  8. That protrusion in the excavation? It's called a "closet"and it's a way to avoid driving piles to temporarily hold the soil from falling into the excavation until the basement is built. #multiresidence #buildProcess
