If there are any Migraine sufferers, stay away from AG1. I tried it, and within 60 seconds, I got triggered. My neurologist has informed me that he has other patients who have had the same reaction to AG1. You have been warned.
I can't really afford a membership you all ((guys))¹ought to do like a q&a to win a membership for a month😮.... a one month period for answering a question that has to do with watching one of the videos that anyone can watch for instance!! like in this episode what did Jamie👷♂️ say to the plumber👨🔧?? LOL I think that would be funny not to mention give people like me a chance to be a member at least a month I guess even maybe a 2-week. So we can watch some of the member videos 😉😎🤠😍😍
Love the speech at the end, that's all the experience in the world knowing when u can start and what can move forward, doing exactly enough but not too much where things need to come apart or be redone. I'm gonna build a shed soon and its only 10x12 and i could plan every fastner and brace if i wanted but buildings kinda just build themselves things come to gether and u solve it from there
It’s fun you mention comments about not havin construction documents finished cause I feel like I send so many things out to bid that are enough info for a bid set and we’re still struggling to deal with open questions, permit comments, or a sudden request from our client agency. I do construction project management for a municipality and sometimes we just gotta keep things moving for a hundred good reasons like y’all mentioned too. It’s cool how most the same concerns, issues, and hang ups all scale up/down for any size and type of project. By the way, thanks for all the knowledge sharing and fun times. These are so awesome and remind me why I love construction, even as someone that was tryin to be an architect 😂
Regarding taking the forms down after the pour, you should rig up some stairs or a ramp up and over the wall so you've got a straight shot! It might save you the marathon of going around the whole foundation.
Let’s all wrap our heads around what it takes to CUSTOM BUILD, because that’s what the Perkins Builder Brothers DO! Everything is taken step by step and adjusted as needed, all while the blue prints guide them in the specifics of the path to follow. I am no builder, but I can see how these guys are experienced, logical, practical, and dead on in each and every build according to what problems present themselves as they go along. Honestly their skills are fabulous in my esteem! Just what anyone would want in their custom build. Bravo to the Brothers and their amazing team!!!
To get those panels out of dead mans land create a slide up the hill. stack and pull up batches of panels with a bobcat or winch. Been there done that getting myself boxed in. This thing is seriously complex. That stars and stripes outfit is really special, no one should miss seeing you. For items that get dropped inside, not like it's never happened, suggest to your source to make every other bottom panel have some sort of access panel. Might make life easier.
Jamie. How many people have messaged you that what you are installing is OSB and not plywood? Hopefully Huber has given you a friendly reminder. Just busting your chops. Liked the video.
Anyone calling out starting before having all of that paperwork in your hand has probably never done a major project in their life. Especially one requiring multiple teams and disciplines. Nothing you guys have done has really worried me, take on the safe knowns, identify and address issues as early as possible, and minimize costly changes (like deciding to move the entire house footprint after the foundation was poured). I’m anxious to see the concrete getting poured!
I’ve done quite a bit of forming with both Symon’s and Gates systems… Ties for 11’ height depends on the type used… usually that height you’d see something like starting at the bottom first 4 @ 1’ spacing then 2’ to the top. The ‘bracing’ isn’t bracing… they are turnbuckles to plumb the walls - they aren’t intended to hold back the wall. The ties are the ‘bracing’ in two sided forming systems. Not enough ties or missing some? Opens up like a zipper when the liquid head of concrete hits it… Plumb your corners and string line. Often put a 4’ level inside at a corner to get it 100%. The walls are engineered so the calculation is in the for exterior load.
In big commercial construction, we see Requests for Information (RFI) come through all the time. This house is nudging into that type of work. Y’all have been doing great.
I own a plumbing business and when you do custom homes the plan can change 100 times but thats why custom homes pay better but they can be a headache. Keep up the great work fellas!!!
@@lynnszen They almost couldn't make it in '74!! Brooks had to find someone else as the Sherriff as Pryor had some public drug problems. The original guy they hired to be Waco Kid collapsed on set because he was a recovering alcoholic. The studio kept objecting to everything ranging from the farting camp scene, and the constant swearing, and then they got sued by Hedy Lamarr herself! To top it off, when they finally wrapped it up the studio contemplated just not putting out and writing it off as a loss. Brooks convinced them to put it out to a few theaters and it ended up being the biggest hit of the summer. There's a whole documentary on it, definitely a must-see if you're a fan of the film!
to retrieve tools dropped inside of forms: use a metal tube such as emt with a loop of tie wire (longer than the tube so you can synch it tight from the top of the tube). use it like a dog catcher to to grab the tool and fish it up.
I would re stack the panels on the palette after the finished wall is complete and high lift them over the wall. Carrying each one back out is just a time burn. Love the channel and the crew.!
It’s kinda funny seeing the different ways people do things, we use symon forms all the time we build our rebar mat 20’ sections on the ground and stack them then fly them one at a time with a tele-handler. We also build 15’ wall sections on the ground and fly those with the JCB. Goes really quick but it’s for dairies and we have to get it done quick.
Finding the entrance into the secret squirrel matrix maze to get to see a Perkins Crew Builders Reel early...Priceless... Another advantage with using form work panels for the concrete walls, instead of having to smash a block at the bottom to get a tool that's dropped down inside the blocks out, with the panels its just a matter of taking off the panel where the tool has fallen down besides to get to the tool then reinstalling the panel again. Cheers for a spicy reel Eric, exceptional work Perkins Crew.
OMG. Why do you always put Jason in prime position. Isn’t it the Perkins Builder Brothers. You may as well rename yourselves Perkins Builder Brother and/with Jason.
You're building that place , like it's Fort Knox !!! I think it would pass . What kind of house is this going to be ??? I LOVE YOU ALL @ P.B.B. !!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Good job guys I did that concrete wall for like 10 years with the union and we used string lines and spacers for the top of wall cause sometimes the wall get thinner from to much pressure from the ties justa tip.Overall you guys doing good that s what I called man work weight to see when you do Perry forms.
I excuse myself, but I just wondered, how do you oil the concrete forms without getting oil on your rebar? I am not sure but it seemed to me that one of your capable crew member was spraying oil over the rebar?
Can we take a second to show some respect to the owner for being a top shelf guy and both allowing us to live his dream and giving so much time to the PBB crew in helping them out so much! Honestly so many others would be like "not today, walk away" then go off at the first little deviation. You sir know just how much things change on the fly and are present to see any changes, that is special. The Perkins crew have your back too, and whatever they miss the "comments" will always pick up. Kind of that third person/fresh eyes overwatch..... Please share your knowledge with Erik, he is doing well on his own however nothing beats a skilled teacher! Erik, Jayson would seriously give your wife a lot of money if you had a mullet.....lol Seriously guys, someone needs to get a "Batwing" style awning on a vehicle. Perfect for rain, lunch breaks or just chilling. For the folks that just don't know, the "Ten Commandments" are the only plans ever set in stone. Everything else can and will change!
Three rules of construction: 1.) Nothing ever gets built to plan. Because of this the other two rules follow: 2.) Nothing ever gets built on time and 3.) Nothing ever gets built on budget. For architects and engineers a 4th rule also exists: You only get to use 1 sky hook during the span of your career (because after that, your career is over).
Just thought about this while they were talking about the door opening at the end; it may be a good idea to have some diagonal re-entrant bars at the corner of the door opening. These will help prevent you from seeing cracks in the corner over time
I'm from Russia, and here it is normal to start building when even the architect haven't finished his planning stage yet, let alone engineering calculations, which are often ommited entirely. The rules are not very strict, inspections only exist on larger scale construction, like multistory apartment buildings. And even then there are a lot of mistakes, change, and low quality. On the positive side, you can build whatever house you like, without the need to get a permit or comply to any rules
What’s up PBB, still loving your content, taking a break from the floor ( VA hospital nurse in WNY) helps me get through my day! Keep up the great work, all the boys in the crew. !
Great to see you guys are connecting with the studpack guys - they're a great group. You and the studpack channel are the only construction channels I watch, lol.
Blazing saddles- Slim Pickins rolls up to the phony toll booth set-up in the middle of nowhere, 10 cent toll, “ One of us gonna have to go back to town and get a S… load of dimes”!
I’ll repeat this. You spray the forms before you erect them. When you spray after steel is made up you lubricate the steel which prevents the concrete from properly adhering to the steel. I can’t speak for rest of country but in Jersey that basic code.
This so far has been the best one I can’t wait to see this poured and all that stuff removed to see the final concrete wall, it’s been a juicy little recording this one very interesting seeing you do something new
I’m just so impressed by your attention to detail. Small adjustments to ensure a square and plumb job is the difference between okay and excellent. Thinking ahead is the key to success! 👍
I really enjoy watching your videos especially the mega house at your building right now. What a great bunch of guys you have working for you. It’s a blessing as a retired contractor. I can appreciate what you do every day. Have a great day, Butch.
You guys should invest in a builders level. You can set it up and transfer elevations all day long. and you can check string lines on your block walls, hook your tape on any top plate and double check yourselves. I saves a lot of worry.
That’s why the Professional crews Have a Boom truck and cages they Lift The forms over the Walls! You should rent a Boom Truck to Get all forms out and Set your Beams!
Jamie, have you ever thought about getting a magnet finger you could swap out? Maybe with a slot to hold a nail/screw aligned like on the top of a hammer?
The steel beam nomenclature is fairly simple, W16x36 --> W indicates an H-Beam (Wide Flange) so these are not I-Beams.. the number is the dimension of the web, and the second number is weight per foot. Metric is the same, except in mm and kg per meter. Unfortunately without a material chart, the dimensions of the Flange and thickness of both flange and web (which differ) are unknown. flange = Horizontal and Web is the center = Vertical. Most people confuse I beams and H beams but their actual profile (shape), properties and best applications are different. An I Beam would probably be specified as an S15X50 for example.
Just a correction/clarification on what the student mentioned about the weather. The % that you see is not Cloud Coverage. It is the POP which is Probability of Precipitation in the area for a given time period. Weather effects my job big time so I keep on top of it. Here is the WeatherNetworks definition which is universally held in meteorology. Just did not want your viewers to get confused or mislead. Cheers! ======================================================================================================= "Ah, the term "POP" stands for "Probability of Precipitation." It's a way for meteorologists to express the likelihood of rain or snow occurring in a given area. For example, if the POP is 50%, it means there's a 50% chance of experiencing some form of precipitation, such as rain or snow, in your location of Hamilton, ON. Think of it like flipping a coin - a 50% chance means there's an equal chance of it happening or not happening. Keep in mind that the POP is just a probability, and it doesn't indicate the intensity or duration of the precipitation. So, it's always a good idea to check the forecast for more details." - source - www.theweathernetwork.com
Might check your chances of rain definition. Probability of precipitation is calculated as C (where C= confidence of precipitation occuring in the forecast area) multiplied by A (where A is the percentage of the area forecasted). So if the weather model has a 50% confidence level over 50% of the forecast area, the probability of precipition is 25%. 90% confidence level over 90% of the forecast area would be an 81% probability of precipitation, what most people call chance of rain.
You could use some hoisting equipment instead of handling and lifting everything by hand. Here in NL you won't see a jobsite without some sort of (mini)crane or reachloader, save your backs and work faster, good for everybody. IDK how easy it is to find/rent that kind of equipment there though.
You Guy's are doing A Great Job and with those nice Solid Forms and I'm wondering if you have ever used the ICF Styrofoam fourms and Fiberglass Rebar and the Styrofoam fourms is great Insulation as well and Basically it does the same thing as the Solid Forms that you are using but I still say that you All are doing A Great Job and God Bless you All !
Building is just like warfare. You can have the most comprehensive and detailed battle plans but as soon as the battle is started you immediately have to make changes. Because there will ALWAYS be things that happen that no one or group will think about. I remember decades ago, locally, they were starting to put in the footers for a multistory building and when they started digging the trenches to pour the concrete into they discovered they were building on top of an old prairie dog town. They were required to dig the entire footprint of the building nearly 20 foot deep and then pack all of that dirt back into the hole (plus some extra) before they could dig the trenches for the footers. That was to insure that the slab did not start to sink as the tunnels the prairie dogs dug eventually started to collapse under the floor causing the soil to settle and the floor with it.
Great combo of work Problem Solving and humor. Naysayers need to take a course in construction if that’s their purpose for watching IGNORANCE is bliss 😂 I’ve recommended your channel to several friends
Yes Erik formwork carpenter’s definitely go back to plumb and straighten everything after, working with a level as you go helps the forms come together nicer, we always string the forms by nailing or clamping a block to the face of the form then using a block to go along and straighten, sometimes having to add a brace to achieve straight. Good job taking on something new and it seems like a great skill set to continue using in the future to capture all profits possible. You also sleep better knowing you did everything yourself too your liking
Love your channel. You talked about starting the project before the engineering was completed. In my experience both as a superintendent, project manager on the commercial construction side most cities and counties during plan check won’t give you a permit to build unless the plans have all the structural engineering plans submitted at the same time.
Jamie, would it have been quicker to build the walls with blocks ? It seems to be taking a long time to put up the form walls and then you have to dismantle it all after pouring the concrete? this way seems more expensive in money and time. Eric in that red white and blue tru work suit, just awesome.
May have missed explanation. Why put the plywood fillers inside the forms? Wont the wall not be smooth. Is it because if you mount outside on the form, you risk a blow out?
Hi from Minnesota .You Guys are the BOMB! Jason talking how he gets the girls to funny. What a comedian . I worked construction for 29 years for a local Electric and Gas utility. We were just like you guys. Worked hard but had a lot of fun. Keep the videos coming. Your crew could work the comedy circuit for sure.
looks like you guys are doing things right and keeping mindful though of what be the next hurtle. though id would put more strong backs on tall walls concrete has unbelievable weight also pour slow and consistently don't over vibrate
I don't know why anyone would be dumbfounded. I design pre-fab panels and there are many details that get left unanswered for the road crew to deal with in the future because getting those answers takes that much time.
The footings seems to be almost flooded by mud in some places from the heavy raining. Is it going to bond with the concrete from the walls later? I am worried for you :D
Yay! Didn't think we were getting a midweek episode this week after Ray's upload yesterday. That's made my evening... That was very much Blazing Saddles, not City Slickers, though.
Spraying the form release oil on the panels after install is risky business, you should definitely have sprayed them prior to install, if an engineer or inspector sees that you may have to strip those forms and clean all the bar. I see Ray was spraying between the bar but the overspray or splash can easily be on the bar causing the concrete to not adhere to the bar 😬 this is from experience having to scrub the rebar with degreaser 😅
Not having all the engineering available before starting the project is known in the industry as Design Build-they do this with building bridges. This way the project can start before final plans are available.
When you pull down the panels it would be handy to have a tile conveyor that you can use to lift the panels straight up to the roadside and drop them on a palette. 4th July I thought they were your pajamas. 🤣

"It's going to take Max like a week to carry all these panels out."
Treating the intern 100% correctly.

I'm an architectural PM and I learn from your channel. Appreciate the insight.

Would be great if you talked a bit about pros and cons of this way of doing a poured foundation vs. the CMUs you normally do.

I’ll repeat this. You spray the forms before you erect them. When you spray after steel is made up you lubricate the steel which prevents the concrete from properly adhering to the steel. I can’t speak for rest of country but in Jersey that basic code.
I am at the other end of the planet and its even done that way here. Mold release does not belong onto rebar...
Then you should perhaps read (repeatedly until understood) 4.2.4 of ACI 332-10 to understand that release oil has no effect on the mechanical bond.
You are absolutely correct if the spray oil gets on the rebar then the rebar is pointless
The foundation of a house normally looks small. When the foundation looks big, the house is gonna be massive.... Looking forward to it.
This so far has been the best one I can’t wait to see this poured and all that stuff removed to see the final concrete wall, it’s been a juicy little recording this one very interesting seeing you do something new
Steel guy here. Absolutely cringe on what a 16x36 I beam means. My guys! Come on lol.
Ha ha! We are just being real… We have really only done wood framed houses up to this point
So nice to see the little community building, stud pack and Perkins. Maybe one day you both will get to work on something together.
Keep your eyes peeled!

Would a form crew have been cheaper or keeping the crew busy saves money in the long run ?
You guys should invest in a builders level. You can set it up and transfer elevations all day long. and you can check string lines on your block walls, hook your tape on any top plate and double check yourselves. I saves a lot of worry.
That’s why the Professional crews Have a Boom truck and cages they Lift The forms over the Walls!
You should rent a Boom Truck to Get all forms out and Set your Beams!
I couldn’t imagine doing a job of this size without a lull on site. Packing all this stuff by hand or with a skid steer is a crazy amount of work
Jamie, have you ever thought about getting a magnet finger you could swap out? Maybe with a slot to hold a nail/screw aligned like on the top of a hammer?
The steel beam nomenclature is fairly simple, W16x36 --> W indicates an H-Beam (Wide Flange) so these are not I-Beams.. the number is the dimension of the web, and the second number is weight per foot. Metric is the same, except in mm and kg per meter. Unfortunately without a material chart, the dimensions of the Flange and thickness of both flange and web (which differ) are unknown. flange = Horizontal and Web is the center = Vertical. Most people confuse I beams and H beams but their actual profile (shape), properties and best applications are different. An I Beam would probably be specified as an S15X50 for example.
The movie you were referring to with your bean story was Blazing Saddles....
Just a correction/clarification on what the student mentioned about the weather. The % that you see is not Cloud Coverage. It is the POP which is Probability of Precipitation in the area for a given time period. Weather effects my job big time so I keep on top of it. Here is the WeatherNetworks definition which is universally held in meteorology. Just did not want your viewers to get confused or mislead. Cheers!
=======================================================================================================
"Ah, the term "POP" stands for "Probability of Precipitation." It's a way for meteorologists to express the likelihood of rain or snow occurring in a given area. For example, if the POP is 50%, it means there's a 50% chance of experiencing some form of precipitation, such as rain or snow, in your location of Hamilton, ON. Think of it like flipping a coin - a 50% chance means there's an equal chance of it happening or not happening. Keep in mind that the POP is just a probability, and it doesn't indicate the intensity or duration of the precipitation. So, it's always a good idea to check the forecast for more details."

The movie is Blazing Saddles where they eat beans and fart, its a Mel Brooks Movie. Billy McIntosh was one of the Desperados.
Riding me hard. I like that description of pressure.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Heya Eric. How far back are the videos in relation to the actual stage of construction? A month? 2 weeks?
I think it’s around 2 weeks right now it varies of course but about a week or 2 ago he posted the finished ready for concrete wall.
@@RJ-hw6mf that's a good guess.
Might check your chances of rain definition. Probability of precipitation is calculated as C (where C= confidence of precipitation occuring in the forecast area) multiplied by A (where A is the percentage of the area forecasted). So if the weather model has a 50% confidence level over 50% of the forecast area, the probability of precipition is 25%. 90% confidence level over 90% of the forecast area would be an 81% probability of precipitation, what most people call chance of rain.
You could use some hoisting equipment instead of handling and lifting everything by hand.
Here in NL you won't see a jobsite without some sort of (mini)crane or reachloader, save your backs and work faster, good for everybody. IDK how easy it is to find/rent that kind of equipment there though.
That beam at 36 lbs a foot at 36 feet is 1,296 lbs
You Guy's are doing A Great Job and with those nice Solid Forms and I'm wondering if you have ever used the ICF Styrofoam fourms and Fiberglass Rebar and the Styrofoam fourms is great Insulation as well and Basically it does the same thing as the Solid Forms that you are using but I still say that you All are doing A Great Job and God Bless you All !
Building is just like warfare. You can have the most comprehensive and detailed battle plans but as soon as the battle is started you immediately have to make changes. Because there will ALWAYS be things that happen that no one or group will think about.
I remember decades ago, locally, they were starting to put in the footers for a multistory building and when they started digging the trenches to pour the concrete into they discovered they were building on top of an old prairie dog town. They were required to dig the entire footprint of the building nearly 20 foot deep and then pack all of that dirt back into the hole (plus some extra) before they could dig the trenches for the footers. That was to insure that the slab did not start to sink as the tunnels the prairie dogs dug eventually started to collapse under the floor causing the soil to settle and the floor with it.
Great combo of work
Problem Solving and humor. Naysayers need to take a course in construction if that’s their purpose for watching
IGNORANCE is bliss
😂
I’ve recommended your channel to several friends
Yes Erik formwork carpenter’s definitely go back to plumb and straighten everything after, working with a level as you go helps the forms come together nicer, we always string the forms by nailing or clamping a block to the face of the form then using a block to go along and straighten, sometimes having to add a brace to achieve straight. Good job taking on something new and it seems like a great skill set to continue using in the future to capture all profits possible. You also sleep better knowing you did everything yourself too your liking
Love your channel. You talked about starting the project before the engineering was completed. In my experience both as a superintendent, project manager on the commercial construction side most cities and counties during plan check won’t give you a permit to build unless the plans have all the structural engineering plans submitted at the same time.
Nice video. Though why not just build a normal wall from mortar?
Jamie, would it have been quicker to build the walls with blocks ? It seems to be taking a long time to put up the form walls and then you have to dismantle it all after pouring the concrete? this way seems more expensive in money and time. Eric in that red white and blue tru work suit, just awesome.
May have missed explanation. Why put the plywood fillers inside the forms? Wont the wall not be smooth. Is it because if you mount outside on the form, you risk a blow out?
That was blazing saddles. A billion times better than city slickers
Hi from Minnesota .You Guys are the BOMB! Jason talking how he gets the girls to funny. What a comedian . I worked construction for 29 years for a local Electric and Gas utility. We were just like you guys. Worked hard but had a lot of fun. Keep the videos coming. Your crew could work the comedy circuit for sure.
Blazing Saddles, not City Slickers. Regardless, awesome that you knew the reference!!
Blazing Saddles for the win!!!
looks like you guys are doing things right and keeping mindful though of what be the next hurtle. though id would put more strong backs on tall walls
concrete has unbelievable weight also pour slow and consistently don't over vibrate
Blazing Saddles, not City Slickers. Looking forward to the concrete poor.
How did the standard ply go in the gaps? I would have though you needed form ply (smooth sides) to stop concrete sticking to the gain of the plywood?
Have you ever built a foundation wall with icf? We built or basement with icf, and it was actually a little fun! 😂 kinda like playing with legos!
I don't know why anyone would be dumbfounded. I design pre-fab panels and there are many details that get left unanswered for the road crew to deal with in the future because getting those answers takes that much time.
The footings seems to be almost flooded by mud in some places from the heavy raining.
Is it going to bond with the concrete from the walls later?
I am worried for you :D
Not City Slickers silly... that was Blazing Saddles... LOL
Yay! Didn't think we were getting a midweek episode this week after Ray's upload yesterday. That's made my evening...
That was very much Blazing Saddles, not City Slickers, though.
Spraying the form release oil on the panels after install is risky business, you should definitely have sprayed them prior to install, if an engineer or inspector sees that you may have to strip those forms and clean all the bar. I see Ray was spraying between the bar but the overspray or splash can easily be on the bar causing the concrete to not adhere to the bar 😬 this is from experience having to scrub the rebar with degreaser 😅
Not having all the engineering available before starting the project is known in the industry as Design Build-they do this with building bridges. This way the project can start before final plans are available.
When you pull down the panels it would be handy to have a tile conveyor that you can use to lift the panels straight up to the roadside and drop them on a palette.
4th July I thought they were your pajamas. 🤣
I was about to type 1st looks like it was released 16 swxonds ago for me but theres comments from yday. Mindblown.
I'm just starting to realize how huge the house is going to be when it's finished😮
