A very traditional and important part of Buddhist culture is, blessing the first post of a house build. I have seen some blessings with 'no' monks and just the builder. We had 5 monks and the head monk, who is very revered and well known, we where very lucky.

    Hey Dave and Fon, congratulations we would be happy when our building project would have achieved this level. I think the concrete slab and the tiny rebar is to weak. When the soil under the slab will sink, the concrete plate will hang free or not? What do you think?

    I recently put in a concrete windowsill on a Victorian house with some matching corbels. I opted for using fibres in the concrete mix instead of rebar, I was chuffed how it turned out. Got asked by a couple of neighbours if I would work on their houses, poor things struggle in London to get any building work done.

    • @Dave-and-Fon
      @Dave-and-Fon 22 дня назад

      I've used fibre cement before, it is good for certain applications. Certainly, wouldn't use fibre cement for a Lintel, but a sill perfect. Later in my build I'll get these guys to make concrete kitchen units, and worktop, popular here with tiles on the top. I'm surprised there are any builders left in London and travelling in is an expensive pain... Thanks for watching, mate and a HNY.
