WHY Are These DIFFERENT Heights? SETTING Sonotubes and Concrete For Extra Bent
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 тра 2024
- In this video, Greg and Erik set the sonotubes for our extra bent. This bent will be for our balcony that extends over our garage. You will see that the sonotubes look a little strange but there is a plan for them - two will be 20 inches above grade and two will be 30 inches above grade. We are being preventative... if someone (probably Beth or Bo) run into the post while backing up or pulling into the garage, they will hit the cement pier, not the post.
We also get concrete into the sonotubes in this video. It's nice to have this done, so we can move onto the next project - cutting the slabe for the plumbing.
Hope you enjoy this video!
Did you know we are building our barn house out of wood that we are milling on our own sawmill?! If you haven't followed along with our BARN Build, (which is now our barn house build) make sure to check out that series in our playlists. We finished the slab last summer, we milled most of the lumber needed over this past winter and are now starting to prepare to put in another slab for our garage and the rest of the house.
Here is the video where we share our barn plans. Our plans are from @BarnGeek . We are excited to build one of his beautiful barns and turn it into our home.
• Why Do We Think WE CAN...
***We are also so excited to have completed our sawmill cover enclosure (sawmill shed). Definitely check out our Sawmill Playlist to watch it all happen. We have shared the process of building our sawmill cover from the very beginning. We have a Woodland Mills HM130 Max sawmill and we live in North Idaho. The sawmill cover / sawmill shed is vital to continue milling for our barn build in the winter months, but it will also be a great way to keep out of the sun during the summer months, and of course all of the rain, in between!
Here is a link to the video that shares the sawmill cover / sawmill shed build from start to finish:
• Sawmill Cover Build - ...
Here are the specs on the sawmill cover / sawmill shed we built:
3 posts in the front
4 posts in the back
Overall dimensions are 15 feet wide by 36 feet long
Longest beam is 28 feet
Front part of the lean to roof is 11'9" and back is 8'
It will have a 3 :12 pitch
Posts and beams are going to be 7 1/2" x 7 1/2"
We have shared the entire build!

Why Are These Different Heights? Setting Sonotubes and Concrete For Extra Bent

Plumbing next? Awesome! It’s starting to get real!
Howdy y’all- great job on the sono tubes. I’d rather watch someone else pour concrete than do it myself so I really enjoyed watching the video. I wish I had an Eric…………….. Hope you have a great weekend. God bless
Very happy to see the tapping and vibration on the concrete. You'll want an immersion vibrator for any slab work but this works for the columns.
Looks like a beautiful day to work outside!
Little tip on finishing concrete. After you strike it off with your board and grab the trowel to smooth it off. Jiggle the trowel as you go across a couple of times then come back smooth. You can get a nicer finish like Eric likes.
Nice slo mo edit on the concrete, Beth! 😊
Looking good!!
Another successful project! Great job!!
What do you think of the idea of the different heights of the sonotubes? An eyesore at first, but we definitely plan on painting them to help them blend in. Hope you enjoy this video! 😁
we cool beans and now you began on this build I look forward to it
I would have gone with 30 above grade throughout, but I have OCD when it comes to that sort of thing. 😂. Nothing wrong with differing heights from an engineering standpoint as long as the first horizontal beam is level, and honestly I think it will become something you don't even see after time. It will just blend in.
HELLO There,
