fun to watch thx Canada starting my framing on top of icf basement

Looks like we are in a similar boat! You guys are a little bit ahead of us so I gave you a follow so we can learn from your experiences. Cheers!

"WITHOUT A CRANE!! " -- uses a crane...

I love this channel!! We are almost doing the exact same thing in Utah. How was pioneer to work with?

What did you guys do for HVAC

🎉🎉🎉

Great advice for those wanting or needing new appliances. Thanks for sharing.

This is good advice

Enjoyed your video. Regarding getting the door to fit perfectly. If the door fits perfectly in the frame when you purchased it, it should fit perfectly in the frame when it is installed. The secret to hanging doors is to focus on the weight bearing side, the side with the hinges. Make sure that it is perfectly vertical, straight and fastened to the door opening. Then you simply position threshold to level and square the rest of the frame to match the door.

Should've done a permanent wood foundation. None of that concrete would've been needed. Looks like you live in a dry area so it would've been a good choice.

What a thumbnail

had to smile when you were marking the pipe all the way around. Grinder is actually a really good cutting option

I can't believe how expensive everything surrounding concrete is. WOW. I'm building a 40x64 garage/shop and one estimate came in at 38k for slab and stem wall. So I'm going to do the footer and stem wall myself, and get the slab setup as well. I'll probably just have the guys come in and finish the concrete, since that is a skillset I don't possess. Hopefully I can knock that estimate down by half. Although materials are outrageous. It isn't just the labor.

Thank you sooo much for this awesome video. Straight to the point.

What county are you in?

THOSE LEGOS! 🤣. How long did that take?!

Next time try and use some epoxy filler before hammering in those bolts to mount your electrical box. The epoxy is ~3times the strength of the concrete and once it dries it will be additive to the bolts and also coat them keeping them off the concrete mostly, which can have moisture.

What about that electrical conduit was not approved under the pad? What was there reasoning? Very Curious

I’m in Hermosa. Will give Eagle a call when we get to that point. Thanks

Biggest argument for keeping that band where you put it is easy taping placement. No special effort required to run the tape joint

Neat video. Does it get cold when you folks are? Because apparently you can’t have the intake air too cold at risk of freezing the core.

🪜 blocking

Hey. Nice looking install. What CFM ERV do you have vs what is the output of the CFM performance. For example: I got the 210 CFM, but I get 175 after all my ducting as my max on the ERV.

Your h2.5s are installed incorrectly

Y’all are rolling along now!

How about cost? I do not agree with the weak comment??

What kind of grill did you end up installing? What is the name and brand and where can I find it? Thanks!

Wago (Way-go) connector. German company. Pronounced Vago (Va-Go).

Nice!

Square footage?

why didn't you pull the exhaust air out of the return duct work from the HVAC already in the home that pulls from various rooms already? You can also pump the fresh air directly into the return stack right on the other side of the air filter oposite the coils (still on return side). Then you didn't need any of that crazy ducting all thru the home.

Im no expert but ive seen textures being done with some specific paint rollers, they give more unified textures all around the wall. Other that that, keep filming and uploading, love to see the place looking more and more like home!

Some ICFs have bucks as a part of the package. So you dont have to worry about wood rot. Also, wouldn't the concrete catch on screws better than nails?

Pro tip~ Not a big deal but when framing interior walls we usually don’t transfer roof loads to a 4” slab via a wall to avoid cracking or settling. If an interior wall is meant to have a load it will have a footing below. Simpson actually makes a clip that connects the top plate/ceiling which allows for movement. Thanks for the breakdown in cost. Very helpful! My next house will be built in concrete, possibly PIP since our company does that work (and framing) or maybe ICF. Fire insurance has gotten outrageous where I live but it’s MUCH cheaper with a concrete home.

I’M GOING TO TALK TO THE CAMERA, SO DON’T LAUGH AT ME….that what I say to my employees

Happy you’re back! We’re wrapping up design on a similar build and your channel has been very reassuring to me as a first time owner-builder. Keep it up and good luck!

Just a couple of days ago I looked to see what had happened to y’all. Glad to see a new video 😊.

Top plate on the exterior wall needs to be caulked...

Could also do ceramic coated screws through the bucks, Into the ICF wall cavity. Will give the concrete something to grab

Good information BUT why not round to the nearest dollar.

How did you attach to the icf foam

May i know length and width dimensions

Wonder how long did it take you to install ICF block walls excluding filming ? Hope you can share. I’m thinking of hiring installers not sure is it worth spending money for speed

How did you order your trusses?

Are you using the poly wall on the icf that will be underground only?

There is no corner? Who would do that

Thankyou

Add penalties for failure to meet deadline by X days. I added a 10% penalty on a 200K remodel. He dragged his feet in 2019 and 2020. His costs went up but we had a fixed price. COVID screwed him but he also made some stupid mistakes that cost him thousands to fix. He was 6 Months late. Which I wouldn’t have charged him the 10% until he tried to milk me for an extra 15K. I told him to pay me the 20K late fee and the 5K I had paid for materials which I had receipts for and I’d pay him his 15k. He walked out and I waited for lean or lawsuit but it never came.

Concrete not cement lady

Nice quick to the point video. Kudos for that. It seems like a pretty big span so I imagine a poured roof was likely going to cost much more than this? Did you even consider it?
