ShabinLife UA-cam Channel:
Welcome to the ShabinLife channel here on UA-cam!
We’re Dayna & David and we're excited to share our homestead journey with you. We currently own a home on a 1/4 acre in a suburb of Pennsylvania & have been trying to maximize usage of our small plot to it’s fullest potential. In 2016, after dreaming for years of owning enough land to live a more simple and sustainable, self sufficient lifestyle, we acquired 18 Acres & began the journey of building our future homestead! Our land is quite far from where we currently reside which limits our trips to the property to once a month or so. For the time being we post new videos (or at least try, lol) once a month with updates on how things are moving forward, our pits and peaks as well as sharing all the priceless info we’ve learned from the amazing channels we subscribe to here on UA-cam. Please join us on our ShabinLife adventure as we continue Living Simple & Loving Nature.

Glad to see you got your walls delivered. I was supposed to get mine delivered today but no one showed up. No email, or contact. They may make a great product, but be prepared to get jerked around on delivery.

[@indymark4064]

Turn off the music, tell us what their doing.

[@nwcurrie]

Great video. What is the white pipe that you have coming up in the side-middle of the foundation?

[@shabinlife]

Hey Neil, I believe the pipe you’re looking at in that video is the stub-out for the crawlspace drain. Just a simple drain pipe that runs about 75ft or so underground and away from the house should the crawlspace ever take on water or a pipe leaks. Hope that helps.

[@nwcurrie]

@@shabinlife awesome! Thank you! House looks incredible, and you’ve inspired me to start researching more to potentially try this myself… maybe a year or two down the line

[@That1ufo]

I've seen many precast walls be placed but they always had a big wide footer on it! how wide are they?

[@cherylcrockett223]

Nice!! Cost?

[@shabinlife]

Thanks Cheryl. Superior Wall was about $9,800.

[@cherylcrockett223]

@@shabinlife thank u! My husband and I are starting our build and love everything you’ve shown. Did u put a vapor barrier under the walls?

[@shabinlife]

@@cherylcrockett223 thanks very much & great to hear! There is a vapor barrier under the crawlspace slab, but not directly under the foundation wall. There’s also a drain-tile pipe around the perimeter (per Superior Wall specs) that drains to daylight. Also a floor drain in the crawl space slab (just in case, lol).

[@cherylcrockett223]

@@shabinlife yes we did see the drain pipe on a diff video. You’ve given us hope we can do this!

[@jamesp7623]

Would have been interesting with some explanation instead of inflicting us with what you consider music. Too bad.
