The long story short - we are continuing to build a pump room, a room to store inside pumps and other aggregates, earlier this Summer we drill a bore hole and we are looking to draw in water to the house. For that we need a pump room.
Unfortunately the old log walls have been rotten and we started to replace them with aerated concrete blocks, prior to that…
It happened a a few weeks ago, when digging a trench around the existing foundation I discovered a missing foundation for one part of our rural house.
Back then I quickly realized I will use Fibo ceramsite blocks to boost construction works.
The other day I poured in concrete footing, and today was the day to add first Fibo ceramsite blocks over footing
Hardened foundation footing
It rained for the last two days, I was a little bit worried, could too much rain could make some damage for footing, but it was just perfect - rock solid foundation footing to put Fiblo blocks over.

I bought few at local DIY store and transported with our Honda CRV car. A reliable car is a must have.

Here is some technical background about Fibo blocks I used for foundation:

Now we are talking - soon, very soon we will start to remove walls and build our dream bathroom from scratch - amazing.
