Corbels for the Garage

Bent the steel with my reo-bender (that I bought for the steel re-inforcing for the house) and araldited them in using Sika anchor fix. I should have heated up the stuff in my heating cabinet to make it flow easier. The welding was just to hold the steel in place.

I used WD-40 to get the coach screws all the way in. Together with an impact driver, they made it all the way in - 200mm !

I put some (temporary) brackets in to support the concrete form. I used packers to level it up - :). I estimate it will need to support the setting of around 100kg of concrete. BTW, have no fear. The wall is a solid re-inforced concrete filled wall. One N16 rod mesh at 400mm squares.
