Ground beam and slab ready for concreting

My workers had finished placing the steel reinforcement bars for the ground beams and the BRC for the suspended floors and they are ready to be concreted. I have booked the mobile crane for tomorrow. It will be used to lift the concrete to where it will be poured. With the reduction in fuel price, the operator had agreed to reduce the rental from Rm600 to Rm550 per day. This is still not back to the pre-petrol price hike rate which was RM450 per day.

Site ready for Ground Beam

The backhoe moved in today to level the ground previously excavated to construct the footings. The entire work was completed within half a day and my workers proceeded to set up the the ground beams right away.

In the afternoon received call from Harry's blog readers, Henry Law and H.K.Ting from the Krai Eco Park who are coming to KT to have a look at the birdhouses and accepted their request to take them around. I took them firstly to the swiftlet central area which is in Kg. Cina, Jalan Tok Lam and Jalan Hiliran and then to those along the flight path and show them a few successful and not successful birdhouses. They did 2 bird calls, one at a proposed Eco Park and another just outside my site. They were quite impressed with the result of the bird call at my site.
