The construction season is in full swing. It's good that the roof of his country house - he managed to block the baths in winter, otherwise in the summer he would have overpaid by 100 thousand more. But not the point, now I am doing work related to the pouring of the floor and the erection of partitions. I use cement and sand. I use a concrete mixer to mechanize the process.
As practice has shown, after pouring the floors, the buckets quickly fell into disrepair, it turns out that these containers are ordinary consumables. In fact, this is so.
Recently a neighbor came to the site, he worked as a bricklayer for a long time. He made me some comments about the technological processes when building a house. And also chided for the buckets. Said he knows how to improve the service life of construction tanks. He told me this information, and I will tell you:
First tip, choice
In general, for a construction site, galvanized buckets are the best option, but since they are two or even three times more expensive than plastic buckets, we take
correct capacity. This means that its maximum volume should be no more than 12 liters. If a bucket made of polymer holds more, then the likelihood of its breakdown increases exponentially.Second tip, strengthening
No matter how strong the bucket is, it always needs to be strengthened. The usual reinforced tape of plumbers helps a lot in this.
To do this, take the tape, wrap the bucket around the circumference in two places.
Thus, any bucket becomes stronger. And it copes with dynamic loads more easily.
Tip three, improvement
For this modernization of the bucket, you will need a piece of polypropylene, of which there are many at any construction site.
Cut a piece to the width of your palm.
We remove the handle of the bucket by bending its end with pliers. All that remains is to thread a piece of the tube into it.
Thus, modernizing the handle of the construction bucket.
Due to this life hack, we save our palms from high loads, facilitating hard work.
So, in simple ways, he modernized an ordinary building bucket. Thanks to the builder neighbor for the useful advice, I am sure they will help you too.
