    Oh if you use a drone for commercial work, you need to be part107 certified. Commercial work includes social media like UA-cam if you plan to make an income off of that. I watched a video about this last May and then purchased the Part 107 Course sso.teachable.com/secure/2458... I studied and learned for 1 month and then took my test. I scored a 95%, which is a testament to how good Greg and the crew over there teach. That link will save you $100 off the course and support this channel.

    My professor made us watch this for homework, and i cant say this for any of the other videos he has showed us besides practical engineering. But great, well made video! This was way more entertaining than most other construction process videos!

    Love the idea of using an old I joist to get the forms straightened out. Im going to have to start using that. Havent seen that done in Ontario.
    Great video.

    Super helpful video, thank you. I have the same form system (also pnw) and it took me a while to figure out how to use them to do 8-10' walls. I still like to use longer ties and whalers, but the overall system is identical in layout and design. Love your videos!

    Comprehensive and fun video. Also noticed watching carefully when he was pointing out the spacing for the snap ties his hand position was precise. Dude perfect moment. It's cool watching a guy who really knows his trade and makes it look easy.

    Fastest system I ever used was PERI forms in an industrial pour. Super super expensive and they get moved with a zoom boom but they latch together and you can make almost any sized wall fast. But that was at a mine with very deep pockets. The usual forms I used for residential in Saskatchewan were similar to yours or just sheets of form ply backed with 2X4s going horizontal and vertical. Lot more labour intensive and rebar was all tied by hand. I saw a tie wire gun one time in my career and it was pretty good but didn’t tie the bar as tight as people did.
    Still I loved your video, awesome ideas and great work. Done well and intelligently.

    We had 5 of those max rebar guns. On days where we would form 16' high 160' radius manure pits they came in pretty handy. Only thing is they can't tie the 25mm thick re-bar wrapped around the bottom of the pit.

  • @nobreighner
    @nobreighner 3 роки тому +2

    Very helpful and entertaining, thank you! For a thinner wall, tying the steel after a form is up can help to make sure you are getting cover, but I am not one to really say, because we don't use forms. And now almost a hundredaire!

    And I notice you don't use strong back either, so less work and your Fondation looks nice and flat.
    Great video! I may try verticle stack on top of 2 foot horizontal.

    I gotta say thank you. The moment I seen this video I jumped up and did a little dance because all the supply places would have you believe that you have to rent special forms to do a basement, but you dont! Immediate relization. Upon seeing your video it basically made me $50,000 maybe 100 and I appreciate that, thank you. I was wondering though, if you had any pictures of how you do the outside corners? That would be the only thing I had a question on. Thank you sir and I appreciate you, again

    How much does a foundation for like this cost and would it be more economical to do cement pillars with a concrete foundation?

    ps: but a small remark --> I have worked as a side job in a steel processing company and I know how it is with the flexing, it is only a screw and you think "oh that's fine without for this one screw", but no, I have so far jumped two lenses and a splinter was hanging directly in the goggles, without these glasses I would probably have lost my eyesight today, so PLEASE , PLEASE always put on goggles!

    @bubba9482 3 роки тому +3

    We do it the same, but different in Northern Illinois. We use Duraforms with E clips and bent ties. If we have to stack, it goes on the top. Also, we usually don't pout deep footings, we step the footing and wall. Save on concrete. We also stone the footing before wall forms go in the hole. You left a good looking wall, more than one way to skin a cat.

    Right on. Never built vertically but use the exact same stuff. But we spray our panels with diesel and motor oil. Also did I see spray foam used to fill a leak? Never thought about doing that. Do this often? How’s the end result? Foam stuck/bludged into the wall a little? Good stuff man. I’m north of Seattle. 🤙🏻

    • @TimUhler1977
      @TimUhler1977 3 роки тому +3

      we use JP Strip or something like that to coat the panels. Works really well. Yep we use the spray foam but mostly where it'll be hidden underground. I got that idea from ICF videos on UA-cam 😂😂 it works very well, we can span 1" easily with it and the concrete won't push it out.

    For small houses invest in duraforms

    Very Nice clean job.
