Carlisle Massachusetts Concrete Cutting and Core Drilling

After the concrete forms are removed the pen floors are poured together with the feeding troughs. A concrete hog wallow will assist in keeping pigs clean and free from mange and insect pests. Unless a concrete wallow is provided, the hogs will quickly make a disease breeding mud hole on the hog lot. As indicated in the plan, this wallow is built with shallow concrete footings on a well-tamped earth foundation. While it is not absolutely essential that a hog wallow be watertight it is easily accomplished by suspending the inside forms from cross-braces supported by the outside forms. The concrete footings, floor, and walls may then be poured monolithic and consequently watertight.

The sketch indicates the top of the wall level and provides for a pitch in the floor to a drain through which the water may be drawn off into a short line of drain tile.�� -

The concrete should be mixed in proportions of 1:2: 3:2, being 1 part of portland cement, 2 parts of sand, and 3:2 parts of stone or gravel graded in size from 34 inch to 13/2 inches. It should be mixed with the least amount of water to give it workability. The floor should be finished with a wood float to provide firm and non-skid footing for the stock. The walls may be plastered with a thin coat of 1:2 mortar mix to further insure water resistance, if desired. A hog wallow that can be very easily and quickly constructed is illustrated on the next page. In construction of forms, proportion of mix, and method of finishing it is identical with the one just described. The ramp is a decided advantage, however, providing easy entrance, and the forms are a bit easier to construct. In this wallow no provision is made for drainage. The pit is filled by means of a hose, and the water is bailed out when it becomes necessary to clean it. Drainage can, however, be easily provided if desired. The old type of combined barnyard and manure pit is rapidly passing because it is wasteful and unsanitary. The value of manure stored in a tight concrete pit as compared with barnyard storage is so great that the pit will quickly repay its construction cost. Pour the concrete footings first, and upon them erect forms of inch boards and two by four studs spaced not over 18 inches apart for the walls. The concrete footings and walls should be keyed together to make a tight joint and insure a good bond. After the inside wall forms have been removed, the sub grade should be prepared if the soil is very porous and ground water is present; a line of drain tile around the walls will lead the water away from the pit. The floor should rest on the top of the footings and a slip joint provoked for expansion and contraction. The floor may be finished with a steel float to present a smooth, non-porous surface.

The driveway should be built with an apron or light foundation wall to strengthen it against impact of wagon-wheels, and keep it from sinking in soft ground.

Metal sockets or bolts are embedded in the top of the wall to permit construction of a roof. All concrete should be mixed in proportions of 1:23/2:4, being 1 part of portland cement, 23/2 parts of sand, and 4 parts of gravel, graded in size from Y4 inch to 13/2 inches. It should be machine mixed if possible and the water content should be kept low. The plan on the next page shows a much smaller manure pit. It is built in the same manner as the larger one, however, and the same aggregates and mixture are used. To eliminate rotting of sills and underpinning of buildings build them of concrete. Sturdy and strong, it will bear its load indefinitely and strengthen with age. The plans shown here provide for the setting of a steel or timber superstructure. The forms are set and the piers poured in place. In the first plan provision is made for steel anchor bolts; in the second, T-shaped pier, dowels are used to fasten the rough timber to the pier head.
