Once the site has been excavated and prepared, place four inches of sand down on the bed where the foundation will
rest. The sand must be compacted before placing the forms and rebar. After the sand is compacted, use the Vilter GA
drawing to construct the forms for the foundation. With forms in place, install expansion boards on the inside of the
forms, for example, see Figure 3 - Interior Foundation Isolation. Next, place your rebar in the forms as per the Vilter
foundation drawing. When all rebars are in place the concrete can be poured. The concrete must then be trolled level
and a surface texture etched in place. Leave the concrete to cure for at least 28 days.
