As a Journeyman finish carpenter, we move wood mouldings into a home 3 days in advance of the work, to adjust to temp and humidity.I love the way the mud gets offloaded right away!!
No need to epoxy the rebar into the existing foundation to securely tie it all together? Would a hot wire knife allow you to cut the forms more accurately against the existing stone foundations?
Could’ve got an engineer to do a bar bending schedule to provide a combined base / starter bar arrangement to support what you’ve done there. Would’ve assumed it’s been done before & details available if you ask for em.
One of the main reasons for a mono-pour is to eliminate a cold joint where water can push in. But this method leaves metal tunnels embedded in concrete between the inside and out. I know that for this job, the interior is going to be filled so it doesn't matter. But I don't think I'd want to use this method for a dry basement. Wouldn't those metal tubes provide nice expressways for water to get in? Another question. Why ICF if you're going to fill the whole thing up with dirt anyway. Excuse my warm climate ignorance, but does the insulation really serve any purpose other than a quick and easy way to build a poured wall without the forms?
Where water might permeate - but know what ya mean Cold joint / construction joint / - the joints gonna be ‘mainly’ in compression so not really a problem - but they’ll be some tension / compression to the joint if from surcharge from backfill or if car parked alongside. He’s filling either side afterwards with stone covering those tunnels - & says it doesn’t require to be dry He’s not filling the whole thing up as he’s leaving a crawl space The ICF blocks are purely for ease of construction - so the insulation is not important - it’s just a Formwork. Client needed job done quickly if you watch the early part to the UA-cam - so not pouring a separate footing / nor another trade to provide blockwork etc Saves time
when pouring that height with those wide footers, do you have to aerate that cement even though it's a thin wall? I would figure it would be poured in sections because the wall is so tall. looks really good except the Fox block markings
Prob not - it’s more than likely been taken into account by the design mix of the concrete - a self compacting concrete mix with plasticisers added amongst a few other requirements . Should all be in the specification - as agreed with the engineer. Concrete might be fibre reinforced just to reduce thermal cracking when curing.
@@messageobliquespe100 I've read all about HPFRC by the guy who wrote book on everything cement can be mixed with. fiberglass, carbon, carbon fiber, foam, and crap ton of other stuff. really interesting stuff and I'm excited to learn about concrete mixes and foundations
@@TecraTube excellenté! I had to do as I went into structural engineering after leaving school. I didn’t have much interest in concrete in the beginning tbh & studying it was more of a chore. I was more interested in steelwork design. Fast forward numerous years & most of my work became the design of multi storey reinforced concrete structures. A number of advancements over my lifespan & changing of design codes through the years have made it a very technical subject - if you want it to be. It’s a simple enough medium to use but mistakes can be made - that’s why specifications / design mixes are key to what one requires/expects.
is there a concern about the conduit becoming a conduit for water to travel to the inside of the wall from the outside?..........and are you going to make a video if you and the crew going to your big grand opening spa day 😁😆.....they work hard I think they deserve it
He said he’s filling with concrete either side afterwards so it won’t matter - leaving a crawl space above it Water could penetrate through the joint of the wall junction if it’s not sealed
@@messageobliquespe100 Not the top of the wall, the outside of the ICF wall is going to be faced in stone to match the exterior of the existing foundation wall of the house.
@@chrisdaniel1339 ahh ok - I misunderstood the end of the UA-cam then - I’m assuming your question - are the anchor bolts “long” enough for a double sill plate 🤔 Doesn’t look like it - but I suppose it wouldn’t be problematic to post fix afterwards.

I was in construction for fifty years and I can still learn things from you guys. Thanks
Just drove through Oswego on June 20 on our way to Lake Placid. Stopped for lunch at Rudy's Drive In.
Great job Bondo and crew. Using conduit to hold the footlngs together was brilliant. Thxs for the vids!
Bondo thanks for the Video I needed something to watch.🤙🔥🇺🇸

you are a good cement guy with a great crew
The most expensive item that Bondo owns is that extraordinary COMMON SENSE!!!
When I see a Bondo video pop up, I drop everything else to watch it. Always interesting, always time well spent.
Looks great guys. That was a smart way to do that one!
First 👍's up BB thank you for sharing 🤗
You got me a little nervous with the 'bucket ladder'. Great work from your crew, as always!
I used icf foot hold brackets for my footing and the icf blocks sit nicely inside the footer and allows for one solid pour. Worked great!
Another fantastic job. I can see why Rho wasn't in the video... cramped quartets, and it's in the city.
I always learn at least one little tip or trick when watching your videos. Thanks.
👍 That the way we do it. Especially smaller pours. I say that but we have done bigger puts too
I always learn from your videos. have been using Form A Drain and spacer/ saddles all week can. Have not worked up to do a mono pour yet.
Always do a great job brother.👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🐶
Nudura or Fox may develop an idea for a base course ICF mono-blocks, which will save a lot of time and expense.
Really interesting .What stops the wall from blowing outwards?There are supports on the inside but not on the outside.Great channel btw.
Atta' Pepper, great job!
Love seeing these mono pours!
Wow that was a tight pour. Came out nice
I really like these mono pours it just makes sense to me is there a reason you wouldn't do this when you can
Top notch 😊😊😊😊
Great video. Thanks for sharing
14:00 I love his attitude! Just fix it and move on.
just Farmer engineering, we do that stuff all the time in commercial work, typical. But good for a small residential guy!

@@messageobliquespe100 you sir are 💯! I really enjoy the technical aspects of HPFRC. I don't work with concrete but just love it
We are going to be building are house in the province in a few weeks I will be doing some live on the build from start to finish
So do pour as far east as Amsterdam area? I thinking of a bardominium slab foundation, hopefully next year.
PLEASE let me hire you to telephone consult on an 18' x 18' building pour....... Your are the master, SIR!
Nice job

@@rodrod383yep - I thought in beginning it was to be concrete - just watched the end - gonna be gravel -
At the end he said doesn’t have to be waterproof / dry
That is a damn slick way to do a monolithic pour, great! Are the anchor bolts exposed enough for a double sill plate?
Doesn’t look like it - but Is he putting a double sill plate in?
He says he’s gonna put some decorative stone on top of the icf wall

Smash that like Button!
Biscuit's real name is Jay?
Edit. that's a really cool way to create a wall but is it cheaper than laying blocks or about the same?
I’d say ‘even’!
Depends how much the blockwork layer wants to charge / how many days / cost of blocks etc etc
Client wanted it quick - so I think there was a good margin in this!
Would be nice to know -rates/prices vary district to district - labour force available

As you’re a carpenter & joiner - you’d prob not want to see much of this if you do Formwork & shuttering! 😂
Would you do a ICF swimming pool in Canandaigua?
Is that a Basement? Or Just a Really Deep Foundation? Im Serious... IDK Im from California.
Sorry to hear that you're from California , my condolences
He’s not utilising as a basement / but they’ll be a crawl space if you listen towards the end - I’m not a serious person - from another planet here! 😉
Ingenious.
ya but what about that wire lol
