Ill tell you. I take my hat off to the ones that do this type of work. I've been around this for 40 years and it sill amazes me watching.
The most beautiful house in the world is the one that you build for yourself ☺️ n I'm so sure this going to be beyond beautiful❤️🏡
All the best Niko keep going 😊✌🏼
Thanks so much Sukesha!!
Any rebar?
So, I want to build a 14ftx14ft block workshed in my back yard. The frost line here in Ohio is 32in. Does that mean I'd have to pour concrete into a 16 inch wide, ~40 inch deep trench for the perimeter of the building?
Yes. If you fail to get your foundation below the frostline, it will have serious and expensive consequences on your entire structure through the freeze/thaw cycles over the years. Check with your local building and planning authority for details.
Websearch: Hydrojacking.
And then concrete gets poured in the cinder blocks to hold everting and hold the bolts, right?
whats under the cinder blocks?
Do they coat the walls with anything after
Some type of water proof coating is required on the outside up to ground level or a little above.
You prime and then put a waterproof membrane, the one I use is called blueskin and you bring it from the bottom to about 10-12" above the ground
😀😊
😃
Have you ever considered a poured concrete foundation? I hear they hold up better…
Honestly that’s not a common practice in Chattanooga, Tennessee so I’ve never even considered it!!
The only reason I'm considering a cinder block Foundation is the cost, the cement alone is thousands and thousands of dollars
Yeah but if a Tornado hits, your Screwed!
@@jacquestube wow even w/ all the labor of laying all those bricks it's still cheaper.
@@mdgrech yep
Do you have to have concrete foundation for you lay them bricks down? Or could you do it on leveled graded dirt? I want to fix a addition bathroom and it has no support on one side only logs holding it 1900 home. Any info would help thanks!
To say that building a cinder block wall or home is hard is a lie. Its one of the best and easiest homes to build. See thats the secret to it. Your going to be told its hard so a contractor can screw you and claim a big price on the technicals. Its that simple. Also its only going to be as hard as you design it to be. Who ever did the job in the video over did it by many leaps and bounds. This could have been done a lot easier and simpler which means cheaper
What would you suggest?
@@xtreambnut simple don't build your stem wall with blocks. Pour a stem wall and anchor into that with your blocks. It's going to save you a lot of money on dirt work and blocks plus a lot of time which is a huge cost. Any contractor nowadays that wants to build with that outdated method shown in the video is wasting time and money playing in the dirt. Depending on your ground you can also anchor directly off a slab. Make sure it's at least a 6 inch reinforced slab for a home build and at least 4 inches for garages and such. You can also do this if you have done anchored piers into bedrock. Better have a good conncrete guy that knows how to place rebar.
@@NetsarimTheWatchman My skills are limited and further hindered by age. I am needing some repairs and rebuilds on my home and trying to educate myself in defense of self-proclaimed construction gurus.
I do realize that starting off level is of greatest importance, no matter what size or what material the above ground walls are constructed of. It seems to me that as long as the forms are level, that maintaining the true level of the stem wall would be easier to maintain.
I do have a project that I intend to do myself. I need to build a 26' long retaining wall that will be ~4' high, and constructed with concrete block. I will be replacing some chain link fence with other type of fencing. Can I use the chain link fencing in lieu of wire mess and rebar in the footing for the wall?
Thanks in advance for any advice or input you may have.
@@katiedotson704 it sounds like you have it pretty well figured out. You can use that for reinforcement. It will work. I would run that chain link about 8 inches away from the backside of the blocks and tie it to 10 foot T posts driven 5.5 feet into the ground and space the posts 5 feet apart. I would back fill halfway. Let it set for a little bit and then fill in the rest.
