hi all,
On saturday i will be having the ready-mix delivered to form the base for my new pre-fab.
Ive done all the groundworks, blinded it, added the DPM and some re-bar so its good to go.
Shuttering is up and level all round, ive just got a few questions regarding levelling the actual mix.
Im concreting upto a wall, so have fixed a baton onto it to allow me to level which i will remove once the base is cast.
Now, firstly, given that ive got a DPM overlapping all the edges, how do you guys get a good level on the form work with the DPM in the way? This is a particular problem at the wall.
Also, ive seen a couple of video's of people levelling concrete with a piece of 2x1 in a sawing motion etc is this the only way for an amateur builder to do it? Will it net a good finish?
If anyone has any goods links to info or any suggestions, videos etc i would very much appreciate it.
