I see the real boss showed up to make sure the job was going according to plans. Thanks for training the apprentices in forming and placing concrete in the form correctly.
Building my own personal home as an owner builder and you guys have been an invaluable source of knowledge and encouragement. The details and how conscious you are about working smart is so helpful!!!
Having never used a concrete vibrator...as an outsider looking in, I foresee a harness for it like the pump operator has, there by freeing up one hand. I can only imagine how heavy that vibrator gets after a couple hours of holding it. Great content!!👍👍
If I recall you guys use a concrete mix with pea gravel for when you are using a line pump; do you think a cordless vibrator has sufficient output for a more traditional concrete mix with larger aggregate? We normally rent one that is provided by the batch plant, but the last 2 pours they have forgotten to bring it out at first and we end up waiting on it while concrete is getting stiff…. Don’t really want to invest in a full size one when we only do a few foundations a year and cordless would be handy if it actually works. Thoughts?
I do formwork for a living in Australia and we form walls that thick with a lot more timber than you did. What system is that you're using? It looks much more efficient than how do it?
I have a question about the forms. For example, if a wall is 16' long and you use two eight foot panels how do you overlap the corners with the perpendicular wall and retain 16'? Don't you loose an inch and an eight in wall length where you butt one panel to the perpendicular panel? Seems like you would also loose 1-1/2" in length at each step of stepped stem wall when you insert a 2x8 in between panels.
Great music and intro music. Can I give a tip for the step downs, we use well plates for them. It’s basically a horizontal piece of ply or beam or whatever is around, of about two feet that’s on the bottom of the step. It makes it harder for the concrete to spill out. I also make little holes in them like you did on the window in the previous video
Pretty smart use of the joists for bracing the panels. Is that a leftover from a previous job or will that end up in someone's floor? Haha good stuff pumping walls is a piece of cake.
Man that is a wired pour from my point of view. Why don't you just rent Ellis style forms? Pour to the top and move forward. That back and forth isn't reducing pressure anywhere. You have to move away from those gates style forms. There isn't a way to engineer the loads with random lumber.

U guys are awesome
I’m stoked on the positivity in your voice
Thanks for showing us your process
Great job ! I always fill the sills from one side only until it runs to the other side. No voids!

Looks great! Thanks for these videos! Super informative to us carpenters who find ourselves expanding skills to get projects in the ground.
Very well done, you guy’s really are awesome..

Ours came with a shoulder strap
I'm very excited to see the framing for the garage floor.

Have you ever done ICF? And what do you think about it
It is superior in my opinion. Fast to form, minimal stripping and ready for drywall.

Thanks Tim
Thank you !!! AwesomeFramers!!!
Great to see the guy next door sitting in a chair having a can of something watching the progress of build.To sensible to volunteer 😂
Looks like western Washington maybe Bremerton/ Port Orchard with those slopes.
Excelente trabajo felicidades 👊 💪 💯
Amazing. I am just shocked at the minutes amount of bracing on the exterior form walls at the front elevation.
“Just follow me with the vibrator, Noah.” Good thing this is not released as an audio only podcast.

That mix looks really wet….six foot first lift? Thant’s pretty aggressive
Pump mix
Как бы опять стенку не распучило, как с фундаментом!
First Baby!!!
