Step by step :)
I now have one last water evacuation to place where the exterior faucet is and the. I can lay the metal wire mesh.
What cha making? Concrete patio?
yup. Need to get the outdoors more practical as our weather is now all hot & dry…
Are you sure you want a giant heat sink there instead of a garden? Concrete stores heat and emits it later… instead trees are helping to cool it
Always great to be outside
Do you need something between the home and the concrete to prevent water/dirt or anything else from potentially causing problems?
So it’s all sitting on a layer of small rock so water would drain well. And I’ll be making a slope in the concrete so the water should get right at the end of the pad where I’ll be making a franch drain / rock walkway to make sure nothing pools too much. Additionally my roof is overhanging quite a bit so the ~40cm are most of the time dry when it rains anyway unless rains gets sideways twice every 5 years or so.
That membrane is water permeable?
Concrete can dry out too fast before it sets or cures if you don’t. It prevents the subgrade from leeching the moisture out.
Could be other reasons at play here though.
