No need to throw away the remnants of concrete and block cuttings. I tell you where they come in handy

In the process of building a house from blocks and bricks, scraps and debris are always formed. You don't immediately know what to do with this construction waste. Grind aerated concrete with a sledgehammer and pour in the road, put it under the base of the tracks? If trimming from the PShchS blocks, then this cannot be done.

Scraps during my construction

Because almost every house under construction has a porch or even a terrace, then you will need to fill the foundation as a base. This foundation can be poured like an inverted bowl:

Only instead of foam, as in the diagram, use debris and scraps from the wall material. The structure is monolithic (the porch tape is not separated from the screed), which gives increased reliability to the foundation. And at the same time there is savings on concrete.

Polyfoam is almost equal to the cost of concrete. And in our case, trimming is no longer worth anything for us.

One more tip. I never throw out the remains of concrete. Acquired molds for tiles. And there are still forms from pouring decorative blocks "washed concrete" for the fence. I pour the remains of concrete into them. Several blocks have accumulated that can be put on a part of a row in the masonry of the walls or to fill the foundation for a porch or terrace:

Concrete blocks are waiting for their time.

Freshly poured form with the remains of concrete (remained when pouring the lintels).

You can often see such a picture around cottage settlements - the remains of concrete were poured, which did not enter the foundation. Of course, it is better to order concrete with a stock, but why discard the leftovers? You can make boxes in advance from scraps of board and pour excess concrete into them. These blocks can also be used as voids in the porch foundation.

The same goes for the brick fragments. Also useful for this.

Question to the readers. When cutting aerated concrete on the machine, a bag of aerated concrete chips accumulated:

What can you do with it? Use as a filler when mixing mortar, cast blocks (mixed with cement) or make a plaster mixture?
