Nadumuttom taking shape

After raising column footings(4 Nos) for Nadumuttom,we have comnnected these columns with 35 cm depth beams to act as support for Nadumuttom walls.On top of this soild block brick work is done and inside and outside will be plastered.Pictures shows the work

Columns at rear side

Rectangular columns at rear side (Two Nos) are coming to connect and act as base for rear sit out.Picture shows rear side column pedastal footing and excavation for propsed rubble work connecting these two columns

Nadumuttom columns coming up

Picture shows four round columns for Nadumuttom coming up with earth work excavation,floor concrete,footing concrete in three stages of mat,footing and pedastal reaching upto brick wall level.Excavated pits are of 4 feet by 4 feet in length and width and not less than 4 feet in depth for all 23 concrete columns coming up in the house.Out of these 23 columns only two columns in the rear side for outside toilet and rear verandah are rectangular in size.All otheres coming up in visible areas are all round columns.But the foundation work of 4 level concrete is the same for all 23 columns

Foundation beam concrete getting completed

Foundation beam which is concrete beam with reinforcement of steel on both length direction and width direction is kept above rubble foundation.Brick work for walls of the house come exactly above this.Hence Foundation beam act as a concrete support for the brick walls and also act as an additional strengthening concrete for rubble foundation.Picture shows completed foundation beam
