How to make your own dragon fruit cement posts

Building 50 pieces cement posts is our target before the end of 2018. This target is long overdue due. We are grateful that we have tons of courage to start with. If only I can sell courage online, I would end up filthy rich. Hahaha We have to start somewhere anyway.🌵

So, we started purchasing a mini dam truck of sand and gravel. That costs Php 1400. Wow, I feel so rich afterwards. 🌵

Materials and costing :

Sand and gravel (₱1400 for 1 mini dam truck) 

12 mm steel bars (₱200) 

Wooden frames or mold

Sacks of cement (₱197)

Labor (₱150-300/ day) 

On our first week we made 7 cement posts. We bought a sack of cement and 2 steel bars. The following week we made 8 pcs of posts. We bought a sack of cement and 2 pieces of steel bars again. After two weeks we ended up with 15 cement posts. So that means 35 posts more to go. 🌵

We decided to build posts on a weekly basis starting last week. Eight posts weekly in the next succeeding weeks. Hopefully we can build additional posts more than our target.🌵

If you are working on a budget, you can make 7 pieces of cement posts in every sack of cement. As experienced last week you will only need 2 pieces of 12 mm steel bars for 7 posts. 🌵 Check out this video below.
