    The roots in the foundation can continue to grow from a small amount of moisture and after time.damage the foundation concrete. you need to sieve the soil before filling with it.

      Please explain what you're saying.

    • @jamesclarke3248
      @jamesclarke3248 Před 2 měsíci +2

      I'm saying sift the soil. put 1 layer of rock and well sifted sand at the bottom. Then add your river sand. water the foundation and let it dry for at least a month. remove roots and compact the soil very well with a tamper or a roller.do it very well. fill foundation 1 third of the way then compact dirt, fill and compact up to 3 times. go find a moisture membrane. place it over the entire top of the foundation then cover with concrete slab no less than 6 inches. be sure to use quarry dust blocks to build the first 3 feet of your foundation. paint both sides inside of foundation walls and outside with a black liquid called dr fixit. It is there in ghana. 2 to 3 coats of it or call Steven stone and get flag stone put on the outside the wall of your foundation 3 to 4 feet high. this is better than doctor fixit. do not use doctor fixit if you use the flag stone. flag stone is better for water proofing. Just cover 3 feet of your foundation in height. water damage will cause you to tear down your house and need to build it again. most houses there have moisture coming from the ground. You can do it. talk with somebody about this. most of it you can help do. it's just filling and packing..

    After you compress the ground will you put a membrane down? This is what will stop the rising damp after rainy season.

    All praises to the most High Yah *in Christ Jesus:* the latter differentiate between what the devil is setting up as his one world religion. I love to see children eat fruits. Africa is a land the most High children should be living but for their rebellion against God. The devil will not be sitting back watching a return if he does not have a hand in it. He is the god of this world for a reason. The faithful will feed those in the safe havens.
