Arrange P,Q,R,S to complete the process of building

a foundation fora house.

P: Level the area where you intend to pour your foundation. It is not necessary for the pad of a slab foundation to be perfectly level, but your pad area should be fairly level, as making your pad level right from the start will save you time and headaches later.

Q: Dig a trench all the way around the perimeter of your foundation. This trench will be an important part of your foundation. It should be a minimum of 6 inches wide and 24 inches deep.

R: Place bricks in the bottom of your trench, spaced in such a way that you can lay two rows of rebar in your trench with the rebar supported by the bricks. Fill your trench with concrete all the way to the top. Smooth the top with a trowel if necessary.

S: Build a frame all the way around your trench using your l/2-inch-by-8-inch-by-10-foot framing boards. Hold the boards in place with wooden stakes. Your foundation frame will be built on both sides of your trench, in effect raising your trench 8 inches above the level of the ground.
