Just add water ...

With the eminent arrival of my still nameless daughter, my house has shrunken by exactly 1 room to many, so to compensate it was back to the drawing board. Ambition drove me to start the construction of a triple garage ... why triple? well my super awesome command centre has become a princess room so I needed a sneaky way to spend money on a new command center without rousing too much suspicion :) so basically I'll be left with a new command center and 2 garages.

So for all those willing to take up the challenge here is what you need to do to build your own garage ... well the foundations anyway :) haven't taken any photo's of the rest of the construction .. yet :)

	Step 1 Dig out a couple of trenches. for each exterior and interior wall. I decided to dig the trenches 500mm x 500mm. Just a tip when, whatever you dig out of your trenches make sure you throw it into the center of you construction, this sand will be used as filling.
	Step 2 After digging your trenches place reinforcing bars inside of the trenches, use steel pegs to raise the rebar above the ground.
	Step 3 Pour concrete into the trenches.
	Step 4 Take a Break! pouring concrete is tough!
	Step 5 After Pouring concrete into the trenches a "box" is built around the foundations. The sand in the center of the box is compacted and then a mesh made from rebar is placed on top of the compacted sand. The rebar will allow the concrete slab to flex.
	Step 6 Pour the slab concrete
	Step 7 Smooth out the concrete after pouring and voila!! your foundations are done ... oh and don't forget to keep the slab moist ... just add water :)
