Rank: New-farer Joined: 2/9/2012 Posts: 17 Location: Nairobi		Hi Wazuans, What is the effect of using hand-made ballast (ile vijana wanatengeneza na nyundo) as opposed to machined ballast on the quality of foundation? A friend tells me the trick is to mix the two types to save on cost. But is it worth it?

Is there any effects if I do it before the 21 days given are over? Kindly let me have your advice. Precise, verified and certified details.

Rank: Veteran Joined: 7/3/2007 Posts: 1,635		I have been made to understand that slab work has to be done all at once, usually in a single day. My neighbor is constructing a multistory building - a hotel I am told. The fundis and KYM's have been working on the second floor slab for four days now (it is a big project). What gives? *"The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth."* (Niels Bohr)

Depending on where you are using(slab,beams,foundations etc) you will need advice on the ratio of sand and cement to use with it.
