You can save time/money by making a short footing then use a big piece of plywood as your form. Use your gravel and just make a berm so it supports the back side of that plywood at least partially. If you do it right you can do a long span and save yourself the trouble of hammering those stakes and building that wall that you built. It looks excellent but if big companies put that much time into such a small piece of foundation they would lose money. The old site guys would back up what I'm saying. Good luck. Not just trying to critique. Awesome content. 👌
I remember my first time with concrete. Don't give up. You will get it.
This was poetry in motion
Fabulous video. Thank you hugely, especially thanks for real sounds not music.

Good point thanks for sharing your metod
nice work - the forming was super strong, very creative use of materials. and using foam on the top course was nice idea too.
Thanks for sharing your video with us.... the world is already better with people like you and I ; )
My left ear got solid underpinned by this video.
Dude great way to do it
What is that tool that you used to spin the rebar wire, onto the rebar, please? And where to buy one? That was cool! Thanks for posting !
Sorry, what is that hand held tool that you used to stir up the grout after you poured it and what is it used for?
Concrete vibrator.
I was wondering the same thing.
Is there a stated lifespan on the glue in the grout?
In all honesty the binding agent isn't really needed. The weight will transfer downwards either way.
Great work love it!
But that last pour would be a cold joint right? That can be a weak point in the foundation
I had a local engineer advise me on that:) I’m happy the way it turned out
This is why you have rebar joining the two. Standard practice.
Curious, was that rebar rated as weldable?
You shouldn't weld the rebar as it can weaken it.
How did the inspection go
I'd say cmu would be half the work, placing ports where needed to fill.
How would you place the vertical reinforcing using CMU?
America doesn't have any laws that prohibit you from DIY your underpinning??
Just claim to be an immigrant. The law looks the other way.
@@blackout7615 great I'm an immigrant and the goverment just give me a house for free but it needs work good to know 😂😂😂😂
As illegal migrant, you will receive free accommodation so that you do not have to do such hard work as underpinning your home 🏡
To answer your question: Yes and No. It depends “where”.
if you ever get a pin stuck under your foot,you've had it!it hurts like bilio!
Winni for the win!
Thank you!!!!
Why underpin that footing? It already looks very solid.
For an addition. It will run into that section
Why are you under pinning a slab house??
Not easy dyi, sophisticated techniques. Not to mention excavation limitations.
Is there anything this guy cant do?
👍🏾👍🏾👌🏾❤️
