Rocky Rookie House (ICF Construction)
Canada
Приєднався 5 гру 2018
This is my journey in building my dream Net Zero house for my family of seven using the latest technology. I plan to use the sun to heat my house. The house will be grid tied. I will share my mistakes, material choice and why I am building curtain way. The house is being built using AMVIC Plus R-35 or more insulation value. Please follow me. I will post one video a week.

Great story friend. I worked for Telus worked on voice/Data at Borden,Meaford,and Sheppard weekly until packaged off in 2014. Keep up the good work. Cherrs
Hello Sir! Where did you get your engineering drawings?
Online
@ what company or website?
Awesome
Great review! Thank you.
What a mess. I hope that's your house and youre not building that for a customer. Spend a half a day cleaning up. And you plumping/wiring skills are barely newbie DIY. What a shame.
So you can install from inside?😊
@@mari-rf8tr yes
Are you using 6 inch or 8 inch block? The reason why I’m asking, I was just about to use 2x6 but you decide to use 2x10. My I asked, what is the reason you changed your mind?

Looks good.
ATIS tech…he is a “Jimmy” because the cap badge on his beret is a jimmy figure. Very small trade. They do all the communications systems on the ground. All wear the Air Force uniform. Exceptional trade skills on civy street.
Thank you for sharing.
What ya burning there smokey? Hopefully just some good herbs lol
@@travislongwell lol yes, some ganja
This looks fun.
I watched Rocky Rookie build from start to finish. Can’t wait to see this one go up also.
@@vern0312 Thank you
Want more views do less talk and show more of the work!!
Yes I will. Please subscribe. Could you buy me a camera kit. I will take the time to edit and show more of the work than talk.
What in the Crystal Methodist, is going on here? How will you be containing the concrete when you pour? its just going to over flow out of the top of the form. and you are going to leave the untreated footing ties embedded in the concrete? they will be rotted out in a year, and infested with wood eating bugs.
All of it will be buried. Tell me how this will have structural issue. It is only 3/4 inch. The footing will be 4' below grade. Please elaborate on what the problem is structurally.
@@rockyrookiehouse7732 I never said structurally, just that you will have rotten wood between your footing and wall. It also appears that the wall is no where even close to the center of the footing. If this will be 4' below grade are you doing a basement? What are you using for drain tile? no one wood forms footing anymore, almost everyone uses form-a-drain, however in a year or so you will have ground water freely flowing between the inside and outside of the wall, when those ties rot out. And again, if you are doing a single pour, How will you contain the concrete from flowing out over the top of the forms when you start filling the wall cavity?
@@rockyrookiehouse7732 The space between the footer and ICF, concrete could flow out there also the small strips of wood the ICF are sitting on should be removed. Small things can make a big difference.
@@houstonbill There are videos already on UA-cam. Someone already has done this
@@houstonbill also by the time you come around the concrete will start to cure and will not push up. Also the strip of wood is so small in size that it is negligible. It can stay
If you put in 1/2 electrical conduit under the ICF and remove the wood you are better off because it wouldn't rot like wood. Take a look at Bondo Built he shows this being used in the professional market.
@@leehwhiz thank you
Hello Sgt Corry Wallace this is ............ Charles King. Please pass on a BIG HELLO, I think he'll remember lol. I kinda stood out he'll tell ya stories about me. Point to know guys plan for retirement at an early age. Day I submitted my release was on my 50th Birthday 30yrs of service I am financial freedom with no debt. Great video

Thank you guys. My application is underway. Joining you soon
I love your work, i am in the same boat and wondering if you can help me on my footings and foundation. Property is in Brockville
yes
For an immigrant looking into the reserves; Officer or NCM route for a person that already has a degree? Is it worth it in the long run, or it's better to invest one's time in something else?
It always depends on what you wan to do in the forces. I wanted be technician NCM even though I could have applied Officer. I just did not want to push paper all the time. However, it is easier to change to NCM if you try and do not like officer.
Oh i see, got you Just want something slightly different from office 9-5 job and learn some additional skills & maybe grow network of people along the way too. In other countries, it's really prestigious and highly sought after to become an officer but it's like the Canadian system looks down or doesn't really rate their Officer corps or promote it like the US does, and it'd always bothered me, as those are the people all the NCMS/SNCOs have to take orders from and entrust their lives in their hands, so why shouldn't more solid folks be encouraged to go there so they help shape policy and have the best interests of the men as the forefront? Don't know if Officers in the US Ranger Regiment, 82nd Airborne Regiment or even Nacional Guard units are basically"paper pushers" as they attend Ranger School, attend airborne, and do alot of field exercises and trainings just like the NCMS, but I've realized that this "dont want to be a paper pusher" trope is always dropped on folks not to encourage them to go in as an officer. My question is don't reserve officers get platoon leader time even for at least till Captain rank, before they have to step away from tactical work and then start having more of their duties focused on become more focused on strategic planning? I've always wanted to understand why the Canadian system promotes and pushes folks to go the NCM path, is it the economy that drives that or something else ? @rockyrookiehouse7732
If you take the medical industry, the more education you have the more you get paid and the more you are trusted to make decisions. This is how society grades you. It is as such in every corner of the world.
@rockyrookiehouse7732 Right, so you're suggesting with the degree one has, one should go officer in the reserves, since one has a lot more knowledge at that age & level?
@@1anre Yes.
Wishing you guys the best.
Thank you
we have immigrants in our military now? Lmfao this country is such a fucking joke
As an immigrant looking to join the CAF, thank you for this video!

What's the name of that hvac load software

Wow, that service head and insulator are at least 40ft. off of the ground. Almost need a bucket truck to connect that service cable.
That disconnect should have been outside under or near the meter. What use or purpose does a shut off switch serve when placed right next to the main breaker? The point of disconnecting is to give breaker or fused protection to unprotected service entrance wires in case of damage or short it won’t blow the transformer it’ll trip or blow your fused protection. In your setup you protected 12in of wire, meanwhile 20ft of conductor outside is left with nothing. Prior to recent code needing a emergency disconnect, your setup wouldn’t have required this anyway because disconnect was only required if more than 3ft after entry into the building existed. Your SE conductors being outside wouldn’t have qualified needing a disconnecting means, you could have just terminated as usual, your electrician wasn’t very knowledgeable and cost you extra money for no real benefit in this install, even tho he may have gotten you a passing sticker….
More videos on the hydronic system please!
I am helping my friend build his first hydroponic heating system. I will have the best design uploaded on youtube.
How do you like the boiler?
It is undersized. But it works amazing ay 11c
Watch this video if you want to know what NOT to do.
chinese companies oftentimes makes the design / production,but they don't do the marketing/customer service. I think Chilltrix is mostly importing rebranded chinese products
That bracing system to adjust plumb looks terrible. All those 2x4 parts can and will flex under a load. I cannot imagine why you like it. All steel bracing that I've seen on Fox Block and others are far superior. Also you have a very dangerous work place with that gaping hole in the floor. Temporary hand rails are needed.
I am way past that now. There few things I could do better. Also the company made few improvement to address some of the issues.
you are suppost to stagger the joints on drywall ceiling panels !!
You are a wildman lol
Nice project👏👍
2:37 Where exactly did you get these? Can you share a link or address? I would like to get it too. Also, how much did each of the tubes cost you?
I have a house that I heat with solar energy, and I do this very successfully and with a ridiculous cost. Only one circulation pump and one fancoil unit for me. Together they consume around 40 W of electricity per hour. So compare it with the unit price at your location of 0.4 kW per 10 hours. The difficulty in this system is to reduce the flow rate to warm the water or fluid on cold days, or to prevent boiling due to overheating on relatively hot days. Enjoy afterward. My house is 100 m2 and with a 40-tube system, it heats up to an acceptable degree. This system will be insufficient for your building. I suggest you double it. A storage tank would be a good solution.
Thank you. I take your advise. I am making another video on it. Please stay tuned.
Honestly, big ups for attempting all this yourself. However, I feel this is too complicated and many points of failure and a huge cost. Would have been simpler with Air-Source-Hest pump and then bakup strip heater for hotter days. Since you have solar, you could use the funds from all these extra stuff and get batteries and just run the house off that at night. Thereby reducing your bills as well and easier.
How do you know the cost. It is actually few failure points,. However, if I have to redo this, I would have used the electric element that came with both tanks instead of the electric boiler. I learned a lot and I am coming with different version of this for sale as a kit soon. I am glad I went through this and now I have the most efficient designs as a business.
Thank you for the review. I will buy this system now. Much appreciated!
Thank you.
Thank you for sharing ylur experience
Thank you so much for taking the time to make all of your videos. Im in a similar situation, build dream home but trying to cut contractor costs as much as possible. Your videos have been so helpful.
Your jobsite is so messy
