My great grandpappi once told me "son, if you can build a house worth living in, you can build a life worth livin".
That is the mfkn truth yo grandpappi told you
That’s one good grandpappi you got there
One of the most informative videos I’ve ever seen, please keep up the great videos, thank you
Thank you for all of this i want to start my own business doing construction eventually and definitely excited that i found this channel
I remember that if any corner is higher than the others, always start laying that corner first. It's easier to fill in under the other corners than trying to remove material from the high one. Very good video.
Thank you soo much for this, I really do feel pretty confident to attempt this
Very awesome video. IDK about that rebar set up being optimal but I love the simplicity and as you mentioned it passes inspection.
rear dump concrete trucks are a pain even with very good drivers, however, front dump is a dream, even with avg driver.
I'm here friend watching your video from Ancaster in canada 🇨🇦. Very interesting in see the way you explain all the work. I like that. I do renovation here in Canada. Good to learn always. I'm keeping watching your videos for more learning. God bless.
Nice job..i learned from your video tx!
Not only you talk well, you demo details; not only you demo, you explain things every step of the way; not only you explain things, you edit highlights and capture key numbers. Unlike garbage contents trying to be funny about serious business of DIYers spending their time and money, you selfishly are sharing knowledge to help people. I don’t have a garage to build or am capable of doing so but sir, THANK YOU!
Selflessly* I think
Awesome. The pipe for re-bar bending is just plain cheap and efficient. Why didn't I think to use the same pipe I have in m\y garage! You duh man, Josh!
Thank you for taking the time to explain all of this and to create the Amazon store for needed supplies. You have helped alot of people.
The lesson at 10:15 is GOLD... how to bend your rebar for free without having to buy a tool.
Another excellent video. Thank you for the details, especially the why and how. Keep up the great work.
amazing job bro i learned allot from you
Awesome! I’m glad I could help. Stay tuned for more!
This is the best explained footing video I have seen. The audio quality was top notch and your explanations were clear and concise. Well done!
I appreciate that John! I put a lot of time and details into these videos to make them as comprehensive as possible. Stay tuned for more!
Your are saving me thousands in contractor work for my concrete!! Great stuff, cant wait for next video
I’m glad I can help you save money. Thanks for watching my content Dave!
YES!!! Thank you, this video will be in my saved list so I can reference all this great information!! Thank you thank you!!!!
Great video I love it and I am learning a lot from you thank you. When you figure the yardage for the cement do you only do two sides length times width I think it's two sides you do or do you need to do all the sides at them all together?
Great Job, this channel really addresses the Cornerstones of great building!
Thank you for your support! Take care!
This is great. Enjoying watching a process I've never seen before.
Thank you, Jim! I plan on doing every move step by step in this series. Stay tuned for more!

It’s been a blast subscribing and you do an incredible job educating
Thank you Thor! I love making these videos. Thanks for watching!
Can u give a step video on how to run your ground wire in the footer and up in the meter box for your rough in
Good work sir, appreciated. What’s the name of the software you were using for the calculations? Thanks

Dam you made that seem so simple you explained it simple your very knowledgeable who taught you?
this series gonna be great
Thanks Nater! I want to make it full and complete and leave out NOT ONE detail. Stay tuned!
Your walls above the 8" block are not fully supported due to the transition to 6" block. Either use all 8" block, or, better, add a bonding perimeter beam with rebar at the top of the last 8" course. The latter will add considerable strength to your wall.
Not a fan of putting steel rebar in concrete as it aids in concrete degradation. So, was surprised that steel rebar was installed to protrude from the bottom of the footer.
Not surprised that the "inspector" had no issue with it. These "grade pins" will corrode over time and this corrosion will likely compromise the footer at those points.
Your corner rebar placement was incorrect. At the corners you cross the inside to the outside and outside to the inside. Just a point for future builds.
Don't feel bad. Many "professional" concrete UA-camrs don't get it correct and "inspectors" don't have a clue.
You used the transit for the excavation. Why don't you use it to set the grade all the grade pins??
I'm from d Caribbean n i appreciate d video but i was wondering y not just put up some wooden profiles to run d block rather than having to move d blocks around so much trying to establish d corners?
If i dont have a laser would a simple line level work?
I need to build up my area where garage is going, like 2-3 feet. Can i do this same foundation layout in sand? How? Any tips?
i like how you say save a ton of money lol
And construction work must be paid correctly with monty! Yes yes yes . . .
How would I deal with footings in the arctic northeast? Says the frost line is 60" deep. Do I really have to have the top of my footing below 60" under? That is a lot of foundation needed to build up on top of it.
do you need all that rebar to do a 10x20 porch 2 and a half foot tall
Do you have a link for that transit?
Those blocks are huge. Here we mostly use 6 inches max 😅. Building code allows
What if you can't get a diagonal because there are things in the middle of rectangle and you can't drag a tape diag across the area? Best way to square it?
Can you still add a footing on an existing concrete slab ?

I thought I was being stubborn hanging on to my old transit. You really need to update to a rotary laser. Way faster and I believe to be more accurate.
I think they are equally as accurate. The rotary laser level is definitely more convenient. I would recommend the rotary laser level over the old transit. Thanks for watching Kevin!
I kept my transit forever... but then I broke it so I got a laser! Yeah should have went to the laser long ago.
I tie the chair to grade pins, to keep from sliding left or right, especially even concrete cones pouring in
Anyone;
I have an existing shed/garage which is sitting on railway ties. I need to remove clay about 4ft b4 putting in a concrete slab. Do I also need to excavate under where the blocks will be?
When we were doing Masonry work we never once had a builder mark our corners . Going back as far as 1985 I can’t remember a builder ever having our corners all marked out. We had to do all that for the same price. We get the plans or the measurements and have to do it ourselves.
Pro tip sonny boy. Put tape on your hammer at 8 inches bro
No CMU dowels or reinforcing?
Thank you Sir 🫡
You are welcome!
I was expecting you to place the dowels that goes inside the CMU walls
I'm pretty sure that "transit" is actually a builder's level.

can this medthod be used to build a small foot print two story? Say a 40 by 50 or 40 by 60 two story?
It would work for a basic two story in my area. Check your local codes to get the building specs for your area if you have questions. I hope that helps!
40 times the bar diameter for laps. 1/2 in / #4 bar would be a min. Of 20 inch lap.
Another excellent video. What did they use for the anchor bolts into the concrete block and the parging?
Thank you Tyler! The anchor bolts are the galvanized 1/2” x 8“ anchor bolts. The parging is the same mortar mixture the mason used to set the blocks. I believe the ratio they used is a three parts sand one part mortar mix. I hope that helps!
Things are done differently from when l were building block walls in the 80's. No rebar or metal was allowed to touch the dirt. Were the rebar used to hold the line left sticking into the ground?
yes this is really silly...by the time rust has any bad affect, ANY...100 years will have passed!!There is no engineering reason this should have been a standard, probably the reasoning of one man and it caught on,,,,there are many overkill things like this .
I was under the impression that rebar rusts if in contact with the ground....is that not an issue here....?
Often times rebar is embedded in concrete. It is standard practice. They now make a fiberglass rebar that is rustproof. I hope that helps!
@@TheExcellentLaborer No. You miss my point; you whacked rebar into the ground as height guides, and then concreted over them.... thus, you have a piece of rebar every two foot that will expand as it rusts...no...??
de ce il pui pe batran sa care bolovanii?
Is it better idea to pour concrete foundation or to use concrete blocks? What is pros/conc except of price? Sorry for bad english
quicker to lay blocks for the DIY!! poured walls almost always get hired done at great GREAT cost...l would never build a block basement ,but this will be under a slab...used blocks can b e bought cheap and buried so they arent seen!
did you install the ufer ground? It may become an issue
I did not install that because I will be using the grounding system from the main panel box. I will be doing a video on that later. Stay tuned!
Steel coming up out of the ground into the footing would be a problem if I were inspecting this footing..
Great video just a quick question, why do footings not have to have gravel in the trench before they are poured? Thank you.
it just makes it easier to grade!!thats all!some guys think it helps drainage ,but WHY WOULD YOU EVER WANT WATER MOVING under a slab? THe same goes for the slab ..rock is easy ,but not needed.
Forms way faster and easier
What is the purpose of the rod chair and rebar in the footers?
Chairs hood the rebar up off the bottom and in the middle of the concrete footings. Rebar is for tensil strength
Thanks man. Going to do a garage too and this helps alot! Question: Do you have any other hats? Do you sell hat space for advertising? Just curious 😅
You are welcome! I do not have any merch yet. I do plan on it in the future. I definitely need to get a good merch line going. Keep your eyes peeled! Thanks for watching!
What's the name of the online calculator?
If you go to calculator. net, then go to concrete calculator, you will find it. I hope that helps!
Thank you! By the way I enjoyed the video it was big time helpful!
Note: wear safety glasses if concrete is loose cause if you get a splash in the eye you’ll know it! All your instructions are like being in trade school. Thank you
Probably the best ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxYGamVaHfdHiPlAQaLa7zkwR02OKpGYDU on building a shed is hardly found ever . And Ryan takes the mystery out of different types of foundation options, etc. He even shows how to build shed with different designs. Very comprehensive, covering different roofing materials, siding, etc.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm thought you had to have a minimum 21 inches at the splice in the rebar. Looked like you just had around 6 inches
Dont want your floor flowing into the block walls.
Your using a BUILDER'S LEVEL not a Transit.
And you are using “your” not “you’re”
Why are you building a garage in the hole?
I wanted the garage to be on grade with my house, which is on a slight slope. I hope that helps!
dont think you want concrete going in to block cover with felt and stone
He did not show when they cemented the blocks on the foundation. 😢. I don’t care about the delivery of the material
Started out understandable but im gone you lost me.
Why use wood frame construction at all? Just make the whole garage a block wall
I would frame is a more cost efficient way of building. Also, I like the ability to install vinyl siding over the structure and wood makes that easy. Thanks for watching!
also temperature... wood with insulation is much easier to adjust temps compared to cinder block .... the cinder block is partly why our water froze.. it got cold enough that even 500 watts of heat couldn't keep it area warm enough.
