I arrived at the beach today at around noon. When I arrived there was a crowd of 20 or so people gathered at the picnic area. This is a nice wooded area with 6 o r 7 concrete picnic tables and a small playground for children.

The crowd was gathered around a tree looking up and pointing. Up in the tree about 20 feet off the ground was an Alien! It was a silver color with a long neck and a big green head. It had huge black eyes that seemed to be looking down at the crowd. It seemed to be suspended there as if its parachute had gotten snagged in the branches.

Proverbs 3:19

By wisdom the LORD laid the earth’s foundations

The Foundation, after all, is the foundation. Before we start to build a new home we need to exercise wisdom and build it correctly. In this article we will talk about building the foundation and its maintenance.

First thing you need to know about concrete, the major substance used in foundations today, is that it will crack. Building the foundation correctly does not eliminate, it just minimizes the cracking. They all crack. You may not see it. It may be covered with some flooring material, but they all crack.

I suppose a lot of folk think that mortar and concrete aren’t really worth writing an article about—after all, you just mix them, and get on with the job that you’re going to use them for. However, different jobs require different materials, and different quantities of those materials. The guide here is one that I’ve followed successfully over the years, and I hope it will prove beneficial to you as well. As weights of sand and ballast or quarry chips etc. vary due to their water content, the following guidelines are given by volume.
