If you are finishing a basement chances are you will need to box in lally columns (steel posts). In this article I provide specific instructions on how to box in lally columns.
When finishing a basement one of the issues that inevitably comes up is what to do with the lally columns that pepper the basement area. Boxing in a lally column is sometimes the only choice.
Lally columns are steel posts filled with cement and provide an important constructional component to your home. They are normally found in the basement, sit on a cement footing or pad, and support large heavy structural overhead beams. Removing them is not an option, unless you want to involve a costly and complex engineering project.

Concrete is the most widely used manmade product in the world. It powers a $35 billion industry, one of the largest on Earth. Concrete is used to make a variety of structures a which you use everyday.
Concrete is a construction material that consists of, in its most common form, cement, gravel and sand, and water. Concrete is the most highly used manmade product on Earth. It is used to make pavements, building structures, foundations, motorways/roads, overpasses, parking structures, brick/block walls and
footings for gates, fences and poles. Approximately six billion cubic metres of concrete are produced every year, which is one cubic metre per person on Earth! Concrete commands a $35 billion worldwide industry and employs, in the United States alone, 2 million people.
Why use concrete sealers?
Concrete although being dense it is still porous allowing it to absorb water, stains, chemicals or anything that it comes in contact with. Concrete sealers prevent this from happening by allowing the concrete to breath. Many abnormalities in your concrete can be prevented such as: discoloration, cracks, joint leaks, failure and ultimately seepage.
Why are some sealers more expensive than the others? Is it just brand name?
Answer: Not necessarily.
You need to look at the amount of solids in your sealer. This is what you pay for and what makes some sealers more expensive and it’s what does the actual work of the sealant. Typically the higher the solid content the longer it will last.
Sub-grade:
As with many home improvement construction projects, what you don’t see is more important to the finished project than what you do see. The preparation of the sub-grade when pouring a concrete driveway is critical, without it, the life of the driveway will be decreased dramatically.
