Extending and Concreting a Footpath

Chur buthas, This week I've been working on extending and concreting a new Footpath. and soo far we've done the boxing and levelled the bottom of the foundation and then cut and tied all the reinforcing mesh and laid it down and the reason why we do that soo the mesh doesnt move when you lay the concrete in the boxing

My Building Academy experience

 Chur the bros My names DJ Phillips-Hulmes and I am apart of the building Academy or BAC and I've been in here for the past 2 years and sadly this is my last year, but so far I've really liked being apart of it. 

Since my time in building academy I've passed my NCEA lvl2 and now I got a head start on my lvl3

Since I've started the academy we have started and finished a lot of projects around our school, So far as a class we've nearly completed our P.E shed which is for all the  P.E equipment, We concreted a 40m foot path, concreted a long jump and javelin run up, Constructed a deck, and now starting on some retaining walls, Done some Painting, Landscaping, Scaffolding, and a bit of Roofing here and there. Completed our first aid and site safe soon our forklift license for everyone that's apart of BAC has been properly trained in using the right tools for the right job. Each student has been chosen to go out on site once every week to get some on-site experience and once again I really like doing this kinda stuff CHURR
