I’m a volunteer trying to build a house for several very poor families in Cambodia. Wood and re-enforcing rods are very expensive! I have a small budget and am stuck. I have set 16 concrete pillars in a concrete footing. I have built the walls with brick. At the top of the pillars I have poured cross beams connecting all the pillars together. I want to know if Ican pour a concrete slab on top of the pillars using #12 rebar set at 1/2 meters apart forming a mesh on top of the pillars and then pour 10 cm (4 inches) of concrete mixed 3-8-10? Will this work? There will be a second story with a lightweight tin roof. No heavy appliances or furniture. Can someome please advise me?
Sorry, I should have said: the span between pillars is 3 meters or 117 inches. Pillars and Beams are 19 cm x 19 cm (7.5×7.5 inches).
One more thing: I’m using 3 parts portland cement, 8 parts crushed rock and 10 parts sand. Is that ok?

The existing insert is in my fireplace and it is ugly, from the 1950s. I want a new one and must do this DIY due to my budget. Can anyone walk me through the steps. I would appreciate it.
It is a wood burning insert.

I just moved into a new apartment that has all wood floors. However, the wood has not been taken care of very well. I thoroughly cleaned and oiled the floor. And it looked great! Until everything dried and it went back to what it was before. Basically it seems that the wood is really thirsty and just ***** the moisture right up. What can I do to revive it/hydrate it on a small budget?

Is it worth it? Any recommended bargains for a small budget. I live on my own so wouldn’t need to be huge. And I heard you could just hook it up to your sink taps? Is that easy to do? Any plumbing knowledge required?

I am on a limited budget, but I use my 2 car garage as a living area. I would like to make it more energy efficient and and look nicer. I dont have to tools or supplies yet, I need to know what to get and the best ways to save money.
I understand needing to frame the walls, but what is the best way to attach the frame to a garage wall? is there a special tool? I have done some framing before, but that was adding a wall to make one large room into two.
