Rain and concrete

[jamesarm]

Chaps,

Halfway through a concrete footing for a retaining wall and its started chucking it down.

Need a couple more mixer loads to complete it, and was then going to position my first row of blocks and stick in the rebar.

Can I leave the 3/4 done foundation until it stops raining or should I be doing something now?

Thanks,

James

Get it finished, mix it stiff, then cover it. Hopefully you'll have finished by now. Rebar yes, blocks can wait or lay them dry (including 10mm mortar gap) just so you know where the bar can go.

Nice to see you giving some helpful advice Duke, instead of taking the p**s out of helpless senior citizens.

Not so! I am fully aware of the meaning of the word 'senior'
