Fish Room and Indoor Pond 24' by 7' by 4'

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
sweet project!!!
 
did they ever consider using a cement crane? its a big crane with a flexxible pipe and it pumps cement to points so you get a constant flow.
 
Several Photos of the Finished RC Slab Ceiling for the Fish Room. The shots are a bit washed out by the bright sun. However you should be able to see the finished surface as well as more bricks which have been put on the dried slab to set up a balcony 3' high around the sides.

The photos taken are a few days after the concrete truck have left and so everything is pretty much more solid and the workers have been busy moving the bricks up for the next part of the work.

Remember this is the Ceiling part for the Fish Room 10' high. The Floor of the fish room will be about 9' plus after deducting the thickness of the RC slab ceiling which is about 5" at the moment. Their will be another plaster finish underneath the RC Slab to finish up. This will then be painted over and it is then completed (the ceiling that is.)

The temporary Support Columns below are still in place and are expected to be removed in a few more days time for more work to be done. More plastering and touch up for the walls as well in the coming days. In the meantime more waiting i guess till the start of another week.

I guess that they are not that common here. Should be easier on the work i think. Anyway that part of the roof is done.

Very nice work, looking great.

I am curious what the total bill will be when all said-and-done

Later when the work is done probably have to take a worksheet to tally
all the various amounts. Sheesss..... sh am getting poorer by the minute..LOL

You re Welcome, any age and anytime. Took a long while for this idea to be done in this manner after reading tons of material on the various forums and net.

Cheers everybody for all for your comments...
