  • In this video we show you how to pour a concrete foundation for houses, room additions, ADU's, or garages. The home owner did this DIY style and setup the foundation by himself with the help of his brother. We came in to fill it up with concrete and finish it. Don't forget to LIKE,SHARE, and SUBSCRIBE!
