Structures, usually of wood, which are used to temporarily hold wet concrete so that it holds its shape and position until it is cured and hardened. The forms are then removed.
Forstner bit
Drill bit, which is made of a pair of radial scraper-type blades and a rounded guiding blade, which is the diameter of the hole being drilled. The radial scraper blades remove the wood between the center starter point and guiding blade, as the bit is turned. The blade then cuts the exact diameter of the hole being drilled.
Forstner bit set
Forstner bit sets are designed to provide smooth, precise, flat bottom holes in wood. They are constructed of high-speed steel that withstands heat at greater temperatures than carbon steel.
Fossil fuels
Fuels formed in the ground from the remains of dead plants and animals. It takes millions of years to form fossil fuels. Oil, natural gas, and coal are fossil fuels.
Found
(1) To begin to build or organize; to lay a base of something. (2) To melt and pour into a mold.
Foundation
The support structure of a house. The base or portion of a structure that is in contact with the ground, usually extending below grade. A support on which something stands.
Foundation bolt
A bolt, which is set into wet concrete, to be used for the attachment of the pressure treated boards (called the mud sill or sill plate) once the concrete has hardened. Once in place, these boards will be the base of the framing structure.
Foundation coating
High-quality below-grade moisture protection. Used for below-grade exterior concrete and masonry wall damp-proofing to seal out moisture and prevent corrosion.
Foundation plan
Drawing, used for construction, which shows all the dimensions and placement of the foundation.
Foundation planting
Any plant that is used around a building for the sole purpose of making it look more esthetic. In earlier days it was to cover the foundation.
